Abstract
Retroperitoneal surgery during pregnancy is rarely indicated. Major co nsiderations are the optimal timing of surgery and the consequences of nonoperative management on mother and fetus. We report on the first p artial nephrectomy performed during pregnancy and one nephroadrenalect omy. When indicated, the second trimester is the ideal time to perform nonobstetric surgery during gestation. UROLOGY 52: 510-511, 1998. (C) 1998, Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
