Summary
Retroperitoneoscopic heminephrectomy has multiple potential benefits in both infants
and children. This article reviewed technical aspects of the procedure, and provided
illustrations and an operative video demonstration. The vital first step is a ‘critical

the hilum, facilitating this dissection.
