| Popis: | Background: Open live donor nephrectomy is safe and provides kidneys of excellent quality. The complexity of the laparoscopic donor technique has raised considerable concerns. Method: Twenty-six laparoscopic live donor nephrectomies were done from October 1997 to October 1998. Results: All kidneys had immediate function. All recipients except 1 had serum creatinines less than 2.0 mg at 2 months posttransplantation. Three complications (wound infection, neuroma, reoperation) occurred. There was no mortality. Conclusions: Proper surgical training and patient selection can result in a safe donor operation that provides kidneys of excellent quality. |
