Abstract
Transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy is performed much as originally de
scribed by Clayman and associates, although preoperative embolization of th
e kidney is no longer routine. Some surgeons use a hand-assisted technique,
especially in difficult cases or when the organ is being removed intact, a
s in live-donor nephrectomy.
