Abstract
A technique for laparoscopic removal of the left kidney is described. Using a transperitoneal approach, a window is created in the mesocolon lateral to the inferior mesenteric vein. Through this window the renal vessels can be secured and the kidney removed without mobilization of the left colon. Preoperative stenting facilitates removal of a hydronephrotic kidney with this technique.
