Hand-assisted laparoscopic donor (HALD) nephrectomy has been performed at our institution since December 1999. Through May 2014, a total of 1500 HALD procedures have been performed. We have evaluated the outcomes of HALD. The HALD procedure consists of a hand-port incision as well as two 12-mm ports. Mean donor age was 40.8 ± 10.8 yr, BMI was 27.9 ± 5.0, there were 541 males, 1271 Caucasians, and the left kidney was removed in 1236 patients. All procedures were successfully completed. Four donors (0.27%) were converted to an open technique due to bleeding. Four donors required blood transfusions. 53 donors (3.5%) were readmitted in the first month post-donation; almost half were due to gastrointestinal complaints. Six donors required reoperation; three for SBO and three for wound dehiscence. 27 patients (1.8%) developed incisional hernias. Seven donors (0.47%) developed bowel obstruction. All donors recovered well with a mean hospital stay after donation of 2.1 ± 0.3 d. All except one kidney were successfully implanted. Twenty-one recipients (1.4%) experienced DGF. Ureter complications occurred in 17 (1.1%) recipients. Early graft loss occurred in 13 patients (0.9%). In conclusion, HALD is a safe procedure for the donor with good recipient outcomes.

In their recent study published in the , the article found that minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia demonstrates superior efficacy and safety compared to traditional open surgery for early ovarian cancer patients. This editorial discusses the integration of machine learning in laparoscopic surgery, emphasizing its transformative potential in improving patient outcomes and surgical precision. Machine learning algorithms analyze extensive datasets to optimize procedural techniques, enhance decision-making, and personalize treatment plans.

Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is more common in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) than in the general population. Diagnosing RCC in ADPKD is challenging due to the presence of multiple renal cysts, often leading to delays and difficulties in distinguishing RCC from cyst infection or hemorrhage.
Aim: To analyze the prevalence and characterize the clinical features of RCC in patients with ADPKD undergoing simultaneous bilateral native nephrectomy.
