Summary
This study reports the first laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy on a sagittally malrotated kidney. This successful procedure demonstrates the feasibility of using such kidneys for living organ donation.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Surgical Innovation
- Organ Transplantation
Background:
- Living donor nephrectomy is a cornerstone of kidney transplantation.
- Paired donation programs expand donor pools but require careful donor selection.
- Kidney malrotation presents unique anatomical considerations for surgical procedures.
