Retroperitoneoscopic Left Live Donor Nephrectomy
RDN demonstrates notable advantages over traditional laparoscopic methods, including shorter operative times, less postoperative pain, and quicker recovery, thereby enhancing donor safety and graft function. Our goal is to outline our institution's RDN technique, offering valuable insights to aid donor surgeons in incorporating this method into their surgical repertoire. This approach requires a precise surgical technique and adequate training to maximize outcomes and minimize donor complications.
