title: A simple technique for facilitating kidney entrapment using a laparoscopic sack during retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy.
abstract: The mouth of a LapSac was opened horizontally using a guidewire and, thereafter, the kidney was moved onto the center of the mouth. Forceps lifted the mouth and the specimen entered into the sack automatically under its own weight. Use of this technique facilitated kidney entrapment.
