Abstract

OPPENHEIMER, F.; ROSSICH, E.  and  RICART, M.J .. Donor outcomes after nephrectomy: Operative and postoperative morbidity-mortality and long-term impact of nephrectomy. Arch. Esp. Urol. [online]. 2005, vol.58, n.6, pp.543-546. ISSN 0004-0614.

The increase of living donor kidney transplants has prompted new interest for better knowledge of the risks of mobidity and mortality and long-term consequences of nephrectomy. Peroperative morbidity varies in revised series, partially in relation to surgical technique: laparoscopic or open nephrectomy. We review the most frequent complications by surgical technique. In the long term, the causes of mortality among donors are similar to general population with aging.
