Popis: Laparoscopic surgery has evolved to become a safe alternative to open surgery, minimising hospitalisation and post-operative pain and speeding up recovery. Laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy was successfully introduced to surgical practice and has gained global approval not only because of the considerable advantages to the donor’s health but also because it provides acceptable results of renal graft function. We describe the first laparoscopic living related donor nephrectomy performed in Greece at the Transplant Unit of Evangelismos General Hospital of Athens.
