Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy With a Pfannenstiel Incision Using Size-Reduced Trocars
mLDN can be performed safely, with high cosmesis, and with operability similar to that of conventional LDN. Although the WIT tended to be long, the function of the harvested kidney was maintained, and the use of analgesic NSAIDs was lower in this procedure. Our procedure should be considered as an option for LDN.
