Abstract
Over the last decade, the minimally invasive approach for the treatment of benign renal conditions has gained popularity over the traditional open approach. Gaur initially described the retroperitoneal approach, which is now the approach of choice for most laparoscopic urological surgeons. However, the transperitoneal route may still be employed especially if the surgeon is in the early phase of learning. In this chapter, we describe the technique of posterior prone retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy (PPRN) in infants and children with benign renal conditions.
