To analyze treatment results of patients with retroperitoneal bleedings (RP), they were divided in 3 groups. The first group (n=75) consisted of patients with extensive RP, the second group (n=284) was formed by patients with localized RP. The control group consisted of 77 patients with blunt abdominal trauma without signs of RP. The most frequent RP localization was as follows: lateral right, extended, lateral left, pelvic, combined, inferomedial and anteromedial. Mild trauma of kidney and pelvic bones' fracture were the major causes of localized RP. Severe renal trauma and pelvic fractures led to extensive RP. Significant risk factors of complicated course of the disease were identified. These were pneumonia, septic tracheobronchitis, acute respiratory and renal insufficiency.
