1Department of Paediatric Urology, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust, London, UK.
Introduction:
Retroperitoneoscopic heminephrectomy is a challenging procedure but with advantages over open and transperitoneal laparoscopic approaches. Lower pole heminephrectomy is less commonly undertaken compared with the upper pole.s OBJECTIVE: This VideoBank article aims to aid the surgeon in reducing the associated risks by demonstrating key steps including patient positioning, access and demonstrating key critical views.
Materials And Methods:
This is a video article with audio commentary of a pediatric patient undergoing a retroperitoneoscopic lower pole heminephrectomy.
Conclusion:
Lower pole heminephrectomy can be safely undertaken via a retroperitoneoscopic approach.
