Only 2/220 low-grade renal lacerations required intervention. Our data suggest that grade I and II renal lacerations can be managed safely without urologic consultation. Consultation is warranted for grade III injuries given the possibility of initial understaging. Furthermore, we believe our renal laceration protocol in our admittedly small, isolated sample has shown our DVT prophylaxis initiation to not pose increased risk.
