Abstract
Two patients with traumatic retroperitoneal hematomas causing obstruct ive uropathy required surgical evacuation of the hematoma to relieve t he obstruction. Fast recovery of renal function and an instant increas e in urine output resulted. The obstruction to the urine outflow by th e retroperitoneal hematoma caused near total collapse of the bladder i n these patients, which was corrected by angiographic embolization and surgical removal of the hematoma.
