“…The most common perioperative complications were bleeding, hypotension and pleural injuries [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Postoperative complications were found to be wound infections and pneumonia [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].…”

“…Nephrectomy for benign renal disease is a routine operation which is usually performed via a standard flank incision. For this operative technique, however, complication rates of up to 58.7% have been reported in the literature [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. …”

“…[40][41][42] Initial experiences with concomitant bilateral nephrectomy and kidney transplant have resulted in unfavorable results, likely due to complex fluid shifts, peritonitis from infected cyst fluid, and graft compromise secondary to hemorrhage-induced hypotension, which was attributable to the nephrectomy portion of the procedure. 43 Although the general opinion among nephrologists and surgeons was that this combined approach involves too much surgery and might likely lead to poor outcomes, [44][45][46][47] there are some studies in the literatures that support it in decreasing the postoperative mortalities. 12,[48][49][50] Recently, the transcatheter arterial embolization technique has shown promising results as an alternative.…”

27%). In deceased-donor versus living-donor transplant recipients, surgical complications included arterial stenosis (1% vs 0%), venous thrombosis (1% vs 0%), urine leakage (0.5% vs 1.9%), ureteral stenosis (0.5% vs 0%), reflux (0% vs 1.9%), lymphocele (11.7% vs 8.1%), and hernia (5.2% vs 8.1%), with no statistically significant differences shown between the groups. The living-donor group had graft and patient survival rates as high as the deceased-donor group. Conclusions: The low rate of morbidity and excellent survival rates make kidney transplant an excellent option for patients with polycystic kidney disease. Although fear of future appearance of polycystic kidney disease may reduce the rate of related living donors, our study showed that graft and patient survival rates in the living-donor group were as high as in the deceased-donor group.

“…1,2 Laparoscopic nephrectomy has become a routine procedure at specialized centers. The advantages of lower postoperative pain, minimal scars, rapid recovery and short convalescence period have offset the marginal increase in instrumentation costs and longer training periods of the surgeons.…”

Retroperitoneoscopic pre‐transplant native kidney nephrectomy

Aims:Laparoscopic nephrectomy has become a standardized procedure for removal of benign non-functioning kidneys. We present our experience of retroperitoneoscopic pre-transplant native kidneys nephrectomy. . The mean operative time was similar in the two groups; however, the mean blood loss, postoperative analgesic requirement, complication rate, hospital stay and convalescence period were significantly less in the retroperitoneoscopic group. Conclusion: Retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy should be offered as the primary treatment modality to patients requiring pretransplant native kidney nephrectomy, except in patients where it is contraindicated.
