Laparoskopische vs. offene Nephrektomie

The medical, immunological and surgical histories of the transplantation of kidneys from a living donor have been developed differently. Living kidney transplantation involves better organ quality and also better kidney function than postmortem kidney transplantation. In Germany, living kidney transplantation is legally based on the transplantation statute of 1997. Traditionally, retroperitoneoscopic open nephrectomy is the gold standard used by most transplantation centers in Germany. The laparoscopic hand-assisted nephrectomy is a very good alternative to other surgical methods, but must be applied by experience surgeons. Digital subtraction angiography gives the best information on the maintenance of the vessels of the kidney, the vessels to the upper or lower poles and the retrocaval course of the venous vessels. The rate of postoperative complications for transplantation from a living kidney donor is lower than that for postmortem kidney transplantation. The formation of a donor organ registry can be very helpful in the evaluation and handling of information on organ donation.

Since the first laparoscopic nephrectomy in 1990, most ablative and reconstructive urological kidney surgery has been attempted laparoscopically. The advantages of this method were first demonstrated for benign diseases, with less postoperative pain, shorter hospitalization, faster convalescence and, for the objective evaluation of these findings, with lower serum levels of interleukins and acute phase proteins, and without disadvantages in therapy efficiency. Over the last few years, sufficient data have been published to show the oncological outcome for patients with kidney cancer. For laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, and recently also for partial nephrectomy, oncological equality with open procedures could be demonstrated, with all of the benefits of minimally invasive techniques. The use of laparoscopy was one of the most important steps in the progress of medicine in the 20th century. Our aims include the further improvement of this technique and its distribution to surgical centers.

From December 2004 to May 2005 we performed hand assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy in 13 female and seven male patients. The median age was 37 years. As immunosuppressant drug, we consistently used tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, methylprednisolone and a monoclonal antibody. The median surgical time was 138 min (range 113-180), and the median warm ischemic time was 87 s (range 63-150). These results are comparable to the surgical and warm ischemic times for open donor nephrectomy. The hospitalization period of the donors was between 5 and 7 days. Renal function and acute-phase parameters showed a transient increase during and after the operation. Most of the patients reached the baseline levels at day 3 and 4, respectively. Together with the clinical data, these findings verify the minimal invasiveness of laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. In the future, this surgical method will probably be the procedure of choice.
