Abstract

It is frequently stated that extravasation of urine after intrarenal surgery is deleterious to renal wound healing causing fibrosis or granulation tissue. A study using dogs was designed to test the hypothesis that the contact of urine with incised renal parenchyma may cause altered wound healing. This study showed that exposure of the renal parenchyma to extravasated urine from open collecting structures did not alter renal healing.
