title: [Transplantation of a kidney harvested laparoscopically from a related living donor].
abstract: Transplantation of kidney grafts harvested in living donors has demonstrated better results than grafts harvested from brain dead donors. Recently, laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy has been introduced to reduce the live procurement morbidity. In 1997, we performed two laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy and we report the first case of this program in this paper.
