Retroperitoneal organs are partly covered on one side with parietal peritoneum. They are immobile or fixed. The classification of retroperitoneal organs divides primary and secondary retroperitoneal organs due to the embryonic development. The characteristic difference between them is that secondary retroperitoneal organs lost their mesentery during development, while the primary retroperitoneal organs never had mesentery.
