Abstract:
The surgical importance of the retroperitoneal space is indisputable. Bordered by the transverse fascia, the abdominal and lumbar muscles and the spine, it is in connection with the mediastinum and the subperitoneal area, and may be the site of various processes causing diagnostic and therapeutic problems.

Of these processes the retroperitoneal abscesses are dealt with in the present work.
