A new technique for hand assisted laparoscopic right donor nephrectomy using a novel vascular clamp is safe and reproducible. This method reduces vascular complications in right kidney donation, leading to good graft function and early patient discharge.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Transplant Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic staplers are commonly used for renal vein division in donor nephrectomy.
  • The shorter right renal vein poses a higher risk of vascular complications when using standard staplers.
  • A novel technique for hand assisted laparoscopic right donor nephrectomy is presented to address these challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a new technique for hand assisted laparoscopic right donor nephrectomy.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of a novel vascular clamp for right renal vein excision.
  • To reduce vascular complications associated with right kidney donation.

Main Methods:

  • A new vascular clamp was designed for insertion via a hand port in hand assisted laparoscopy.

  • The renal vein was excised with an inferior vena cava (IVC) cuff.
  • The IVC defect was repaired intracorporeally using sutures.

    • Main Results:

    • Eighty donors underwent the procedure with no intraoperative complications or graft loss.
    • Mean operative time decreased to 152 minutes in the latter 30 patients.
    • Excellent graft function was observed, with 81% of patients discharged on postoperative day 1 or 2.

    Conclusions:

    • Hand assisted laparoscopic right donor nephrectomy with the new technique is safe and reproducible.
    • The technique facilitates secure IVC closure and reduces potential complications.
    • Training in laparoscopic IVC suturing is recommended prior to clinical application.
