摘要
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. Am J Surg. 1999;177:368-370.
