Robotic versus laparoscopic versus open nephrectomy for live kidney donors

CONCLUSIONS: LDN is associated with less pain compared to ODN and has comparable pain to HALDN and RDN. HALDN is comparable to LDN in all outcomes except warm ischaemia time, which may be associated with a reduction. One study reported kidneys obtained during RDN had greater warm ischaemia times. Complications and occurrences of perioperative events needing further intervention were equivalent between all methods.PMID:38721875 | PMC:PMC11079970 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD006124.pub3
