Background: Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy has become the first choice for living donor kidney transplantation, offering advantages over open donor nephrectomy. This study aimed to evaluate kidney tissue metabolism during and after pneumoperitoneum using a microdialysis technique.
Methods: Eight pigs underwent laparotomy and implantation of two microdialysis catheters: one in the cortex and one in the medulla of the left kidney.
