Abstract

Living-related kidney transplants continue to yield the best results. The two primary approaches for living-related donor nephrectomy are the intraperitoneal and extraperitoneal operations. We herein describe a series of 8 cases in which an eleventh rib intraperitoneal extrapleural incision was used for living-related donor nephrectomy. The advantages of the operation in terms of improved ability to manage vascular anomalies is described. No complication has been encountered.
