[Retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy in children].
We present two cases of obstructive uropathy nefrectomy through a retroperitoneal approach was performed. Renal differential function by means of a 2,3 dimercapto-succinic acid renal scan showed less than 10% on the ipsilateral kidney to the diagnosis pathology. The size of the kidneys meant no hindrance during its nefrectomy. Morcellation within the organ bag was required for its removal without needing to broaden the 10 mm port opening. The patients were discharged home 48 hours after surgery and they returned to school within the first postoperative week.
