Abstract: Pre-transplant nephrectomy was done in a 25-year-old man for calculous pyelonephritis using a retroperitoneal laparoscopic approach with a newly devised ligature applicator-dissector- kidney retractor.

“…Subsequent analyses were quick to demonstrate the advantages of laparoscopic procedures compared to open surgery. When compared to classical surgery, the minimally invasive procedures resulted in similar oncological results, reduced blood loss, a smaller quantity of analgesics during postsurgery times, decrease in hospital stay time, and no increase in the risk of postsurgery complications [13,14]. The present series demonstrated a significant reduction in operative time, hospital stay time, and tumor size when comparing laparoscopy to open surgeries between the periods of 2001 to 2005 and 2006 to 2010.…”

“…In 1993 two different methods to create a space in the retroperitoneum were proposed in two different countries. Gaur in India [8] with the patient in flank position, made a hole in the skin of the posterior lumbar space through which introduced a catheter with a glow finger secured on the tip. By inflating the finger tip like a balloon a space into the retroperitoneal fat was developed, enough to introduce trocars and carry on a retroperitoneoscopic procedure.…”

“…The pure retroperitoneal access for nephrectomy was described by Gaur three years later, using a balloon to create the surgical working space (2,3). Despite the preference for retroperitoneal approach in open urologic surgery worldwide the transperitoneal approach is the preferred technique for laparoscopic urologic surgery.…”
