pubmed-article:19249482 | pubmed:abstractText | Vascular management of the right renal vein during laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy is still an unsolved problem.

Based on experience in open donor nephrectomy, our unit has used the donor gonadal vein to obtain a longer renal vein in this setting. | lld:pubmed |
