title: Anterior transperitoneal approach for removal of renal stones.
abstract: An anterior transperitoneal approach was used for removal of stones from 15 kidneys in 13 patients. Exposure of the anterior portion of the pelvis was readily accomplished making excellent exposure of the interior of the kidney possible. Minimal urinary drainage was noted postoperatively. The operative procedures done with the patients in the supine position were well tolerated.
