Abstract

BACKGROUND: Currently, the robot-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (RDN) technique is used for live donor nephrectomy. Does it provide sufficient safety and benefits for living donors? We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the safety and efficacy of RDN compared with the laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN).
