We compared long-term outcomes of LDKT in pediatric recipients following either laparoscopic (LDN) or ODN. In our retrospective single-center study, we compared 38 pediatric LDKT recipients of a laparoscopically procured kidney with a historic ODN group comprising 17 pediatric recipients. In our center, the first pure laparoscopic non-hand-assisted LDN for a pediatric LDKT recipient was performed in June 2001.
