| pubmed-article:8658284 | pubmed:abstractText | Transplantation of the kidney from a live donor and transplantations to relatives account still for a not negligible percentage of all transplantations. Removal of the kidney from a healthy subject is a demanding and subtle operation. In recent years usually this procedure for transplantations to relatives is performed by subcostal lumbotomy. The authors analyze a group of eight patients, kidney donors, after operation. There were no serious surgical complications and therefore the authors will prefer this procedure also for future operations. | lld:pubmed |
