INTRODUCTION: Transplant rates in Singapore have been falling and there is limited information on baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes of living kidney donors nationally. This study aimed to determine the safety of living kidney donor trans...
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted kidney harvesting from living donors is feasible and safe. We report the results of a mono-centric experience relative to 98 consecutive robotic nephrectomies with emphasis on global donor complications.
INTRODUCTION: For end-stage renal disease patients, kidney transplantation is the only long-term solution. The number of deceased donors is limited. Living kidney donation is subject to strict regulations, limiting possible donors only to the extende...
