Abstract
NORIEGA-SALAS, Lorena et al. Right nephrectomy vs left nephrectomy in living donor transplantation, analysis of evolution and prognosis. Report from a tertiary care hospital. Rev. mex. urol. [online]. 2022, vol.82, n.1, e01. Epub June 20, 2022. ISSN 2007-4085. https://doi.org/10.48193/revistamexicanadeurologa.v82i1.862.
Kidney transplantation is the best renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease. Living donation constitutes the highest proportion of transplants in our country; donation nephrectomy requires assessment of renal function, which will influence the surgical planning of the kidney to donate.
Methods:
We made a comparison between the evolutions of patients who underwent right nephrectomy versus left nephrectomy, for donation purposes in our center.
Results:
Out of a total of 395 cases, 86 (21.7%) were right nephrectomies. With significant differences in the proportion of intraoperative complications, 2% for left nephrectomy and none for right nephrectomy; and more patients with postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo II) for the left nephrectomy group, with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.02)
Discussion and Conclusions:
Adequate surgical planning of the kidney to donate is required to ensure renal function after the donation event, as well as verification of the safety of the surgical act in the donor and the recipient, this must be collegiate and individualized for each transplant binomial.
