- Abstract
Background and purpose: Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy is an appropriate alternative for open donor nephrectomy in kidney transplant. The latter has been applied in most health centers for 50 years and it has been proven that unilateral nephrechtomy (laparotomy) is safe for the doner and so the remaining kidney can handle its function well. Since the former method for the kidney doner has been recently used as well, it seems necessary to compare the long-term function of the transplanted kidney in the two methods for the first time in Hashemi Nejad Hospital. Materials and methods: In description study, 133 kidney transplation evaluated, 75 case were laparatomic donor nephrectomy & 58 case were laparascopic. Kidney function evaluated with creatinin one years Post transplantion. Results: After one year of transplantation, no significant differences were observed in the creatinine level of the two groups. This research showed that the nephrectomy method, either laparoscopy or laparotomy, has no influence on the kidney function after one year. This research is showed creatinin value will equal one year after transplantation in two groups, so donor nephectomy by laparatomic laparascopic approach has no significant effect in kidney Function. Conclusion: Laparoscopic nephrectomy is recommended because it has few side effects for the kidney donor and it can be used in clinical settings.
