The authors give a survey concerning history and operation techniques, indications and use of the renal pole resection. They report on the method developed by them, by means of which the effect of haemostasis is increased, the loss of parenchyma is decreased and the patients may earlier be mobilized. Their experiences are based on the observation of 29 patients operated by means of the method described.
