As the organ shortage increases, inherently the demand for donor kidneys continues to rise.
Thus, live kidney donation is essential for increasing the donor pool. In order to create …

Objective: To review outcomes after laparoscopic, robotic-assisted living donor nephrectomy
(RLDN) in the first, and largest series reported to date. Summary of Background Data …

Background Whether vascular multiplicity should be considered as contraindication and
therefore 'extended donor criterion'is still under debate. Methods Data from all live kidney …

Background Pure laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) is a unique intervention because
it carries known risks and complications, yet carries no direct benefit to the donor. Therefore …

Background Renal grafts with multiple renal arteries (MRA) are a compelling issue in
surgery of kidney transplantation. Transplantations using" grafts with MRA" have conflicting …

Background: Multiple renal artery (MRA) kidneys represent a special challenge for
surgeons, during both donor nephrectomy and renal transplantation. Aims: This study aims …

Background To compare donor and recipient outcomes in patients with renal artery and ante-
aortic renal vein vs unusual renal vascular anatomy undergoing laparoendoscopic single …

Introduction: The presence of multiple renal arteries (MRA) in the donor allograft was once a
contraindication to transplantation. Despite concerns about risks, these allografts are being …

To increase the donor and recipient pool in living related renal transplantation, kidneys from
expanded criteria living donors are used more frequently to reduce the general problem of …
