[DELAYED PORT DEPLOYMENT FOR HAND-ASSISTED LAPAROSCOPIC DONOR NEPHRECTOMY. CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW]

The standard method of surgical treatment of end-stage renal failure is kidney transplantation. A laparoscopic method of organ retrieval from a living donor is currently preferred. The techniques of laparoscopic surgery include hand-assisted nephrectomy and "pure" laparoscopic nephrectomy. We present analysis of the literature data and our own data on the use of the advantages of each of the techniques. A case of complication associated with the use of hand-port from our own practice is described.
