Missile injuries of the kidney are rare even in wartime. Of 4500 patients
admitted to the Ghaem Medical Center in the first two years of the Iran-Iraq
war, only 96 had injuries of the genitourinary tract (2.1 %) and only 35
involved the kidney usually with multiple injuries to other viscera. The
mortality for those with urogenital injuries was 8.3% (compared with World
War I, 60% and World War II, 8.3%). The advantage of early helicopter
evacuation and prompt forward surgery is once more emphasized. The mean
time between wounding and surgery was 48 minutes in this series (compared
with 60 minutes in Vietnam and 16 hours in World War II).
