title: Anatomy of the retroperitoneal connective tissue.
abstract: For the urologist, especially, a knowledge of the anatomy of the retroperitoneum is important. Anatomical and surgical texts frequently do not describe the retroperitoneal anatomy, particularly the retroperitoneal connective tissue, clearly enough to facilitate clinical applications. The anatomy of the retroperitoneal connective tissue is reviewed and clinical applications are provided.
