Two- and three-dimensional laparoscopic donor nephrectomy: a comparative study of a single-center experience.

Background: This is the first report on three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic donor nephrectomy performed in the Central Asian region and Commonwealth of Independent States countries. This study presents the results of our initial experiences of 3D hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (3D-HALDN) in comparison with the outcomes of two-dimensional hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (2D-HALDN) at a single center.

Methods: From 2015 to 2019, 19 3D-HALDN and 19 2D-HALDN procedures were performed at the same center by two surgeons.

Pure 3-Dimensional Laparoscopic Living-Donor Nephrectomy: First Case In Kazakhstan.

The available scientific literature has described the tangible benefits of operations using new 3-dimensional laparoscopic systems. The purpose of this report was to describe the first experience of pure 3-dimensional laparoscopic living-donor nephrectomy for transplant in the Republic of Kazakhstan. A living-donor kidney transplant was performed in a 21-year-old male patient with the father as the donor.
