Description
Summary:Since its introduction in 1995, laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy （LDN） has been shown to alleviate postoperative pain, shorten hospital stay, reduce loss and improve cosmesis while hastening the recovery of normal activities of donors. However, there has been much controversy over minimally invasive surgery with transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approach for nephrectomy. In this non-randomized retrospective study, we analyzed some parameters of the donors who had undergone transperitoneal LDN compared with those who had had retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy.
