The following organs were removed in the "WebViewer": all intraperitoneal organs, the secondary retroperitoneal colon sections and capsula adiposa in front of the kidneys. The duodenum and pancreas were not removed. At the posterior wall of the peritoneal cavity the kidneys are superimposed by the ligaments of Colon ascendens and descendens. Although parts of the duodenum, left and right colonic flexure and pancreas are located in direct proximity to the kidneys, they are separated by connective tissue and fat of the capsula adiposa.
