The information provided through this project must be assessed and criticized by the physician responsible for the conduct that will be adopted, depending on the conditions and the clinical status of each patient. Living donor nephrectomy can be carried out through conventional open access, mini-incision, laparoscopy, assisted by robotics, single-site (LESS), or natural orifices (NOTES). The purpose of this guideline is to present the doctors, specialists and healthcare establishments with the prominent evidence available on the best technique for living donor nephrectomy. For this, a systematic review of the literature was performed, without period restriction, in the Medline database, retrieving 322 papers, of which 28 were selected to respond to clinical doubt. The details about the methodology and the results are set out in Appendix I.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
