While hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (HLDN) is less invasive, which can encourage kidney donation, it requires more exact information about the renal vascular anatomy because of its limited visual field during nephrectomy. MRA is also an attractive choice because of its minimal invasiveness; further, it is an outpatient-based procedure, it uses non-nephrotoxic contrast material and it has no radiation. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of gadolinium enhanced three-dimensional MRA (GdE-3D MRA) in a group of potential live donors who were candidates for HLDN.
