We report on a unique posterior approach for bilateral nephrectomy by retroperitoneoscopy that was conducted in a 13-year-old boy with end-stage renal disease managed by peritoneal dialysis. A posterior approach for bilateral nephrectomy by retroperitoneal laparoscopy provided adequate visualization and created enough working space for the manipulation. The procedure was performed during a short period, and the patient did not need to be repositioned. Retroperitoneal laparoscopic bilateral nephrectomy is a useful option in school-aged children with poorly functioning kidneys, particularly those children also undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
