Abstract
The laparoscopic condom dissection is an advancement on the recently described balloon dissection technique of retroperitoneoscopy. It allows a simultaneous balloon dissection and retroperitoneal laparoscopic dissection using a telescope placed inside a condom balloon. In spite of a mild masking effect by the balloon, the clarity of vision was satisfactory, and adequate dissection could be carried out in all five patients in whom the condom was placed deep to the fascia transversalis or Gerota's fascia.
