What is retroperitoneal hematoma?

Retroperitoneal hematoma is a pocket of blood found in the lower back in an area known as the retroperitoneal space. Hematoma is formed when blood is collected in a closed location, such as soft tissues found between organs and their support membranes. The peritoneal cavity is a space that forms between two types of membranes surrounding the organs of the abdomen and pelvis. The retroperitoneal cavity is an area found behind a peritted branch. These include pancreas, kidneys and adrenal glands and the small intestine duodenum. This area also includes blood vessels such as Aorta and Dolní Vena Cava. Internal bleeding that occurs in nichtypa injuries to create a hematoma. A large vessel for the Cava and Aorta, as well as vessels that support the retroperitoneal organs, may be injured to cause initial bleeding.

Retroperitoneal hematoma may also occur during the cardiac catheterization procedure. RunThe procedure is introduced into a large vessel to reduce blockage. Some doctors give anticoagulant drugs after the procedure to prevent the risk of blood clot. If the catheter pierces a large container during catheterization, it will bleed and can cause retroperitoneal hematoma. If the patient had medicines to reduce blood clots, it may be difficult to stop bleeding.

Surgery to remove hematoma exposes the patient the risk of bleeding and may lose large amounts of blood depending on the size of the hematoma. Many people with hematoma often have different abdominal and pelvic organs. Treatment of retroperitoneal hematoma by surgery involves the evacuation of the collected blood and stopping the cause of bleeding.

Retroperitoneal hematomas can grow sufficiently to reduce blood flow to the rest of the body because the blood is collected in the peritoneal space. Large retroperitoneal hematomas can also prevent the work of other organs. For example, hematoma can increase sufficiently large to block mEyes uretons found in the retroperitoneal part of the pelvis. This can cause urine to be backed up in the kidneys, resulting in hydronephrosis and impairment of the body's ability to filter by -products and electrolytes.
