Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy
This is an operation to remove a kidney from a person willing
to donate a kidney to a relative or friend who has kidney
failure. The kidney is removed laparoscopically and then immediately
transplanted into the recipient individual. Recovery after
kidney donation when done laparoscopically is at least one
month shorter than after traditional surgery. Many donors
can return to work in as little time as 2 weeks.
