Laparoscopic Live Donor Nephrectomy???is It Safe?

Abstract: With increasing experience and standardization of technique, LDN is a safe and effective procedure. Patients undergoing LDN demonstrate clinically significant, more rapid postoperative recoveries and shorter hospital stays than ODN patients. Excellent initial graft function and long-term graft survival have been observed with LDN kidneys. Urologic complications can be avoided. LDN has become the preferred surgical approach for living kidney donation at our center.

“…These include time away from work with possible loss of income, time away from routine daily activities and family members during the postoperative period, and incidental expenses incurred as a result of having to undergo the procedure and the recovery period. Information relating to the expected outcome for transplant recipients will also play an important part in the decision-making process of potential donors (11)(12)(13).…”

“…O tempo cirúrgico médio, desde a incisão inicial até o fechamento da pele, foi de 118,2±34,9 minutos, e está dentro dos valores relatados na literatura internacional (121,2 a 280 minutos) 5,22,28,29 . A perda sangüínea média de 64.3±56.9ml encaixa-se nos valores aceitos internacionalmente, de 125 a 275ml 22,28,29 , e o tempo de isquemia quente de 3.4±1.7 minutos é comparável a outros estudos 5,22,28,29 , mas um pouco superior à experiência de Ruiz-Deya et al 18 e Wolf et al 19 , que relataram 1,8 e 2,9 minutos, respectivamente. No entanto, esse tempo de isquemia quente não acarretou nenhum dano ao enxerto renal, e diurese imediata foi estabelecida em 100% dos nossos receptores.…”

“…Advantages of a minimally invasive approach include reduced postoperative pain, shortened hospital stay and a quicker return to regular daily activities. [50][51][52] Importantly, minimally invasive living-donor nephrectomy is also believed to have increased the donor pool by decreasing morbidity compared with open living-donor nephrectomy. 53 However, the technically demanding nature of laparoscopic living-donor nephrectomy has made it an attractive candidate for robotic assistance.…”
