Maximizing the right renal vein length in laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy has become the standard of care at increasing numbers of renal transplant programs worldwide. The majority of laparoscopic living donor kidneys are procured from the left side because of the longer renal vein and improved transplantation. The aim of this article is to report a technique to maximize the right renal vein length by performing a hand-assisted cavotomy.

Laparoscopic live donor right nephrectomy: a new technique to maximize the length of the renal vein using a modified Endo GIA stapler.
OBJECTIVES To report the utilization of a modified Endo GIA vascular stapler to obtain the full length of the renal vein during transperitoneal laparoscopic live donor right nephrectomy. METHODS We used a modified Endo GIA stapler, in which the triple staggered rows of staples were removed from the kidney donor side to obtain the full length of the right renal vein. This technique has current...

OBJECTIVES To describe our preferred method of right laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy (LDN) using a retroperitoneoscopic approach to determine the indications for, and overall rate of, right LDN and to compare the donor and recipient early outcomes of right retroperitoneal LDN to those of left transperitoneal LDN in a consecutive single-institution series. METHODS At our institution, LDN f...
متن کاملHand-assisted right laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy.
PURPOSE Laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy has acquired an important role in the era of minimally invasive surgery. Laparoscopic harvesting of the right kidney is technically more challenging than that of the left kidney because of the short right renal vein and the need to retract the liver away from the right kidney. The aim of this article is to report our experience with right laparoscopic...
متن کاملLaparoscopic live donor nephrectomy in the presence of circumaortic or retroaortic left renal vein.
PURPOSE Laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy is now an accepted alternative to open surgery in donors with normal renal vasculature. However, the suitability of laparoscopy for donors with anomalous vasculature is less well known. We compared the donor and recipient outcome data of 16 patients with circumaortic or retroaortic left renal vein to 20 recent patients with normal left renal venous an...
متن کاملClipless management of the renal vein during hand-assist laparoscopic donor nephrectomy
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy has become the preferred method of donor nephrectomy at many transplant centers. The laparoscopic stapling device is commonly used for division of the renal vessels. Malfunction of the stapling device can occur, and is often due to interference from previously placed clips. We report our experience with a clipless technique in which no vascular cli...
