About this book

This book explains the development of various laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) techniques, which can be performed via the retroperitoneal or the transperitoneal approach. It provides a step-by-step explanation of LDN, including details of intricacies such as port positioning, dissection steps, securing the hilum and retrieval. It also reviews new techniques like robotic donor nephrectomy and single-port donor nephrectomy. Lastly, it explores the non-technical but equally important issues of donor work-up and legal and social aspects.

LDN is a unique surgical procedure in which the surgeon operates on an individual who is not a patient but someone donating out of altruistic motives, and it has to be “zero error” for the safety of the graft, donor and the recipient. This handbook is a valuable resource for urologists, general and transplant surgeons as well as anesthesiologists and medical social workers working in the field.

Reviews

“This book on donor nephrectomy covers the history and current state of the field, along with considerations for the procedure and step-by-step descriptions of laparoscopic, robotic, and open approaches to the operation. … The book is primarily targeted at surgeons who will perform donor nephrectomy. It will serve as a useful reference for other physicians and providers who participate in the care of these patients (nephrologists, anesthesiologists, and midlevel providers).” (Kelly M. Collins, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2017)
