SURGICAL TACTICS FOR COMBINED INJURIES OF THE RETROPERITONEAL REGION IN CHILDREN

Abstract

Combined retroperitoneal injuries in children are a significant component of polytrauma and are accompanied by multiple internal organ damage, increasing the risk of life-threatening injury [1]. The kidneys are most frequently affected, while the adrenal glands, pancreas, and retroperitoneal tissue are less commonly affected [2]. Late diagnosis and delayed surgical intervention can lead to complications and chronic dysfunction, necessitating the optimization of surgical tactics and standardization of treatment approaches [3].
