Laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy (LDN) minimizes donor surgery risks and encourages kidney donation. This minimally invasive technique is becoming the standard for live kidney donation worldwide.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Transplant Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy (LDN) was developed to reduce complications for kidney donors.
  • The procedure aims to decrease barriers to living kidney donation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution and current status of LDN.
  • To discuss the rationale and applications of LDN in kidney transplantation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical development and refinement of LDN techniques.
  • Analysis of outcomes and adoption trends in live kidney donation.

Main Results:

  • LDN has experienced rapid global adoption since its introduction in 1995.
  • Surgical outcomes for LDN have shown continuous improvement over time.
