Mini-incision for strictly retroperitoneal nephrectomy in living kidney donation vs flank incision

摘要

Background. Mini-incision donor nephrectomies (MIDNs) were established during the last decade, as an alternative to traditional open donor nephrectomy (ODN) via flank incision. In this study, we investigated intra-operative and post-operative data on outcome following MIDN in comparison with ODN data.
