Download or read book Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy written by Mahesh R. Desai and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the development of various laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) techniques, which can be performed via the retroperitoneal or the transperitoneal approach. It provides a step-by-step explanation of LDN, including details of intricacies such as port positioning, dissection steps, securing the hilum and retrieval. It also reviews new techniques like robotic donor nephrectomy and single-port donor nephrectomy. Lastly, it explores the non-technical but equally important issues of donor work-up and legal and social aspects. LDN is a unique surgical procedure in which the surgeon operates on an individual who is not a patient but someone donating out of altruistic motives, and it has to be “zero error” for the safety of the graft, donor and the recipient. This handbook is a valuable resource for urologists, general and transplant surgeons as well as anesthesiologists and medical social workers working in the field.
Download or read book Robotic Donor Nephrectomy written by Said Abdallah Al-Mamari and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kidney transplantation from a living donor provides the best chance for successful renal replacement therapy. However patient’s safety remains of paramount importance and complications are unacceptable. Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) has been proven to have a lower surgical mortality and morbidity as well as a lower blood loss, a shorter hospital stay, and a better cosmetic result compared to the open procedure. This has resulted in LDN being considered the standard in many centers. Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Donor (RALD) nephrectomy is a new trend developed in the last decade. Robotic assistance is increasingly popular worldwide, because it offers optimal operative conditions to the urological surgeon and a shorter learning curve than the standard laparoscopy.

Download or read book Laparoscopic Live Donor Nephrectomy written by Maroun Moukarzel and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living donation is still needed to overcome organ shortage. All countries seem to increase and encourage such kind of donation according to medical and ethical guidelines. The results of renal transplantation from living donors are better compared to those from cadaveric kidneys. Since the first successful kidney transplantation from a living donor, some 63 years ago, surgery has shifted toward a less invasive approach offering to the donor less pain, better cosmesis, a shorter hospital stay, and a quick return to normal activities. Laparoscopic living-donor nephrectomy (LLDN) is now considered as the gold standard approach for kidney retrieval on live donors and has undoubtedly revolutionized kidney donation. It must offer to the donor safety, low morbidity, and fast recovery and must obtain a graft with adequate vessel length, short warm ischemia time, and well-preserved ureteral blood supply. We describe our technique of LLDN according to safety principles and reproducible steps. Highly qualified and well-trained surgeons are allowed to perform such techniques within a very well-equipped environment and with experienced surgical staff. A living donor program should undertake at least 30 cases per year to maintain adequate experience and offer less complication rate.

Download or read book Living Kidney Donation written by Krista L. Lentine and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-05 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a complete guide to the evaluation, care, and follow-up of living kidney donors. Living donor kidney transplantation is established as the best treatment option for kidney failure. However, despite the tremendous benefits of living donation to recipients and society, the outcomes and optimal care of donors themselves have received relatively less attention. Fortunately, things are changing – including recent landmark developments in living donor risk assessment, policy and guidance. This volume offers authoritative, evidence-based guidance on the full range of clinical scenarios encountered in the evaluation and care of living kidney donors. The approach to key elements of risk assessment, ethical considerations and informed consent is accompanied by recommendations for patient-centered care before, during, and after donation. Advocacy initiatives and policies to remove disincentives to donation and advance a defensible system of practice are also discussed. General and transplant nephrologists, as well as related allied health professionals, can look to this book as a comprehensive resource addressing contemporary clinical topics in the practice of living kidney donation.

Download or read book Anaesthesia and Peri operative Care for Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy written by Ingrid Roos Agnes Maria Mertens zur Borg and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A successful renal transplant for patients with kidney failure reduces mortality rate when compared to patients who continue dialysis. Organ donation from living donors has significant better results over organ donation from deceased donors. Traditionally the surgical approach for living donor nephrectomy was performed through a subcostal lateral incision. Now, laparoscopic donor nephrectomy has become the method of choice to procure kidneys from living donors, because of the reduced procedure-related morbidity, shorter convalescence period, better cosmetic result and a superior quality of life for the donor compared with open surgery. However, there are concerns about the transient function deterioration of the donor graft, compared to the traditional open procedure. The causes and exact mechanisms of the altered hemodynamic parameters (increase in systemic vascular resistance and a decrease in cardiac output), renal blood flow (a decrease up to 75%, with ! subsequent temporary renal ischemia) and reduced urine output during LDN, and delayed graft function after LDN are probably multifactorial. Various mechanisms, such as venous compression caused by elevated IAP, and the pharmacological action of the absorbed CO2, as well as activation of the sympathetic and neuro-humoral factors have all been suggested to explain these transient adverse renal effects. Therefore, it has been advocated to use vigorous hydration up to 2 l/h of crystalloids during LDN in patients. However, it was shown that this vigorous hydration could not prevent the impaired creatinine clearance as observed after LDN. We developed a protocol that focused on optimal hemodynamic function and low level of preoperative stress. Adequate fluid loading before installation of PP, together with prevention of blood pooling with ... [ingekort]
Download or read book Transplantation of the Pancreas written by Rainer W.G. Gruessner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-04-27 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although pancreas transplants have been performed for more than 30 years, the last few years have witnessed significant growth in the options available for pancreas transplantation as well as subtantial improvements in outcome. It is therefore appropriate that a new text summarize the recent advances and put forth the standard of future care. Transplantation of the Pancreas, edited by Drs. Gruessner and Sutherland fulfills this mission by providing a state-of-the-art, definitive reference work on pancreas transplantation for transplant surgeons and physicians as well as for endocrinologists, diabetologists, nephrologists, and neurologist. The editors, from the renowned University of Minnesota Transplant Division and the Diabetes Institute, have assembled a group of renowned experts to provide an all inclusive overview of pancreas transplantation. The text features insights on the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus and the limitations of nontransplant treatments, highlights experimental research and clinical history of pancreas transplantation, and compares and contrasts different surgical procedures. The discussions detail the broad spectrum of posttransplant complications and their treatments, which frequently require skills in general, vascular, and laparoscopic surgery, interventional radiology, critical care, and infectious disease. Chapters on immunosuppression, immunology, pathology, long-term outcome, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness focus on issues unique to pancreas recipients. Evolving areas, such as pretransplant evaluation of pancreas transplant candidates, living donation, and the current status of islet transplantation are discussed. Augmented by more than 280 illustrations, including full color line drawings created exclusively for the text, this book is the standard reference for all transplant professionals as well as all physicians caring for diabetic patients.
