Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery is considered a more optimized surgical approach utilizing a single incision instead of four.

Methods: This retrospective study compares data from the initial experience with 110 consecutive LESS DN donors and their recipients (group A) with 205 consecutive conventional LDN donors and their recipients (group B).
Results: This study compared 110 LESS DNs completed in an 18-month period with 205 LDNs completed in the immediately preceding 42-month period.
Background: We report our experience with laparoendoscopic single-site donor nephrectomy (LESS DN).
Methods: Retrospective comparative study of data from 200 Consecutive left LESS DN (group A) compared to 205 consecutive conventional laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) (group B). Standard laparoscopic instruments were used in all patients.
