Abstract

The current discrepancy between potential recipients and kidney availability has led transplant physicians to search for new ways to provide more transplants; today, the most interesting option is living donation. Laparoscopic nephrectomy offers donors better postoperative comfort, faster recovery and better cosmetic results when compared with the traditional flank incision technique with the same graft's survival without higher or dedicated anaesthetic cost.
