Retroperitoneoscopic Donor Nephrectomy

  • First Online:

Abstract

Since the first living-related kidney transplant in 1965, removal of the donated kidney was done by an open operation [1, 2]. Ways to minimise the morbidity of access included video-assisted mini-incision donor nephrectomy [3]. Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) was first described by Ratner et al. in 1995 [4] and was accomplished by the transperitoneal route. This operation can be done by transperitoneal or retroperitoneal route. In this chapter we allude to the nuaces of port placement, dissection and troubleshooting in retroperitoneoscopic donor nephrectomy.
