Laparoscopic live-donor nephrectomy has revolutionized the field of kidney transplantation and has been adopted in many tertiary centers as the method of choice in procuring kidneys. While standard techniques for laparoscopic live-donor nephrectomy have been well described in the literature, there continues to be ample discussion about renal-vein ligation. Endo-GIA and other commonly used vascular stapling devices can be costly and prone to mechanical failures and may not be applicable in certain anatomic situations. Vascular clips, although simple to use for arteries, are difficult to apply to large renal veins. To address these issues, we describe a simple, cost-effective method of control that can be used for both right and left renal veins, using a loop constructed from a 0 silk tie.

Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy was introduced in 1995 as a means of minimally invasive surgeries that entail kidney extraction from healthy individuals. Since then, it has widely overtaken the traditional open surgical approaches, especially in live donor nephrectomy procedures worldwide. Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery is considered a more optimized surgical approach utilizing a single incision instead of four.

Introduction Laparoscopic nephrectomy is the gold standard for kidney removal in living donors, offering advantages such as reduced pain and quicker recovery. In Morocco, where end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a growing concern, this approach could significantly impact the demand for kidney transplants. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy in the Moroccan healthcare system.

Background: This was a retrospective study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) as a strategy for weight loss in obese prospective voluntary kidney donors who were unable to achieve weight reduction through lifestyle changes.
Methods: This retrospective study included living kidney donors who underwent LSG as a strategy for weight loss in obese prospective voluntary kidney donors between 2012 and 2022. Prospective donors who were initially rejected due to obesity underwent LSG after pretransplantation evaluation.

Background: Few studies have examined the long-term outcomes of recipients in minimally invasive donor hepatectomies, particularly comparing robotic and laparoscopic donor procedures. Understanding these outcomes is crucial for optimizing surgical approaches and improving the overall success of living donor liver transplantation. This study aimed to compare the feasibility and safety of robotic donor right hepatectomy (RDRH) and laparoscopic donor right hepatectomy (LDRH) by evaluating total follow-up patient outcomes.
