<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Right kidney living donor transplantation is considered more difficult and associated with more complications. The objective was to evaluate donor safety and graft function of right hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (HALDN). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A total of 270 consecutive HALDN procedures have been performed in our institution up to April 2017. We retrospectively compared the outcomes of right-sided nephrectomy (R-HALDN) to left-sided nephrectomy (L-HALDN) to evaluate donor safety and graft function of R-HALDN. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Sixty-seven right kidneys were removed for functional asymmetry in favour of left kidney (35/67) or left kidney multiple arteries (28/67). Among the donors, neither conversion to open surgery nor preoperative blood transfusion was necessary. There was no significant difference in operative time, compared to L-HALDN group (170 ± 37 min vs. 171 ± 32 min; <i>p</i> value = 0.182). Warm ischaemia time was significantly longer for R-HALDN (4.0 ± 1.6 min vs. 3.0 ± 1.7 min; <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001). There was no significant difference in terms of post-operative complications and serum Cr levels. Among the recipients, there were no graft venous thrombosis. There was no significant difference in delayed graft function (3 for R-HALDN group and 8 for L-HALDN group; <i>p</i> value = 0.847), serum Cr levels, and graft survival. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> R-HALDN is a safe procedure for kidney donors, with excellent graft function for the recipients, compared to L-HALDN.

Objective: To report our first experience laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy (LLDN). Material & Method: A 37 year-old man was planned for the living-donor transplantation. The recipient was a 63 year-old man sufferingfrom end stage renal disease, and hypertensive heart disease. The donor and recipient were allowed for positive qualification evaluated preoperatively. We applied a transperitoneal approach for the left kidney. Results: The operation time was 300 minutes and the estimated blood loss was 600 mL. The first warm ischemia time was 15 minutes and 24 seconds. There were no major intraoperative and postoperative complications. The donor began oral intake and mobilization within 10 hours and was hospitalized for 4 days. The recipient’s serum creatinine levels reached near baseline levels (1,5 mg/dL) at day 6. Conclusion: LLDN is technically feasible in Indonesia and may increase the rate of kidney donation in Indonesia due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure.Keywords: Renal transplantation, laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy, Indonesia.

Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage renal disease. This review discusses the surgical aspects of kidney transplantation in detail, beginning with the important features of the preoperative evaluation of a potential transplant recipient. We then explain in detail the technical aspects of living donor nephrectomy and kidney transplantation and provide guidance for managing variability in donor organ anatomy. Immediate postoperative management of the kidney transplant patient is briefly discussed. Finally, this review addresses the important postoperative complications to be aware of in the kidney transplant patient and management strategies, as well as outcomes of kidney transplantation. Key words: chronic kidney disease, deceased donor transplantation, delayed graft function, kidney transplant, living donor nephrectomy, living donor transplantation, lymphocele, renal artery stenosis, transplant workup, urologic complications

Objective: To evaluate and analyze variables related to the surgical and direct post-operative outcomes of our initial experience of laparoscopic living donor nephrectomies (LLDN). Material & methods: This retrospective analysis describes the first 10 laparoscopic nephrectomies in living donors performed in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. All surgeries were performed by the same surgical team. Variables related to the surgical and post-operative outcome and complications in donors were evaluated and analyzed.Results: The average age of the donors was 31.8 years with male : female ratio of 7 : 3. Thirty percent of them were family related to the recipient. The left kidney was extracted from all patients and multiple renal vessels were found in one cases. The mean operation time was 321.9 ± 27 min, first warm ischemia time was 9.37 ± 3.34 min and estimated blood loss was 270 ± 182.87ml. The hospital stay was 4.1 ± 1.3 days, VAS in the first day post surgery was 3 ± 1 with epidural analgesia needed for 1.8 ± 0.6 days, and drain was kept in for 2.8 ± 1.2 days while urethral cathether for 2.4 ± 1.2. Time to return to work was 16 ± 8.4 days. Conclusion: LLDN results in acceptable blood loss,less post-operative pain, short hospital stay and short time to return to work for the donors, therefore promising to be the gold standard among living donor nephrectomy surgical options.Keywords: Laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy,renal transplantation, Indonesia.

Context Laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy has been shown to be a safe method for removing kidneys for transplantation, but concerns have been raised regarding safety and long-term kidney function. Objective To compare safety and long-term kidney function in hand-assisted laparoscopic, pure laparoscopic, and traditional open living donor nephrectomy. Method The charts of 48 patients with more than 1 year follow-up were reviewed. Thirty-four consecutive patients underwent laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy, and 14 had open donor nephrectomy. All kidneys functioned immediately at transplantation. In the laparoscopic group, 11 had the pure laparoscopic technique, and 23 patients had hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy. Results Total operative and warm ischemic times were reduced with the hand-assisted technique when compared with pure laparoscopy. Operative and warm ischemic times were similar in open nephrectomy and hand-assisted laparoscopy. Long-term follow-up of serum creatinine levels revealed no significant differences between the 3 groups. Complication rates in the 3 groups were similar. Conclusion Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy appears to be comparable to open donor nephrectomy in terms of safety and long-term graft function.
