Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy

Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove a kidney from a living donor for transplantation. During the surgery, the doctor makes several small incisions in the abdomen and uses a camera and special instruments to carefully remove the kidney. This approach offers benefits such as less pain, shorter recovery time, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery. The donated kidney is then transplanted into a recipient who needs a kidney, helping to improve or save their life.
