title: Peritoneum-preserving radical nephrectomy in a patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
abstract: We describe a pararectus retroperitoneal approach for radical nephrectomy in a patient on chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. This approach allows early ligation of the renal pedicle pre-operatively and immediate resumption of peritoneal dialysis post-operatively.
