We herein present a regional review of the management of renal trauma in the west of Ireland. The majority of renal injuries occur as a result of blunt trauma and are amenable to conservative management. We sought to streamline the management of renal trauma in the west of Ireland. With the current restructuring of the Irish Health Service, it is important to acknowledge the role of the urologist in the management of trauma patients.
