The method of fixation of a pathologically movable kidney with a graft from the retrorenal fascia, modelled as a poach and strengthened with a heterogenic abdominal stripe, is described. The operation was carried out upon 76 patients. There were no complications. 63 patients were followed up for 6 month to 2.5 years. There were no cases of the recurrence of nephroptosis. The results of the operation are considered as favourable ones.
