Kidney Donors Live Longer

The Journal of Urology, 1998
A very important issue in living kidney donor transplantation is whether the donation is safe for the donor. The aim of this study was to examine survival and causes of death in kidney donors and to assess the renal function in those who had donated a kidney more than 20 years ago.A total of 459 living donor nephrectomies were performed in Stockholm ...

Transperitoneal Live Donor Nephrectomy

Journal of Urology, 1980
We review 171 anterior transperitoneal live donor nephrectomies. The transperitoneal approach provides optimum exposure for atraumatic dissection of the kidney and renal vessels. The total and major postoperative complication rates were 30.4 and 3.5 per cent, respectively. These results compare favorably to reported series of extraperitoneal live donor
