title: Degloving of the renal capsule: a rare complication of laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy.
abstract: Laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy is becoming the procedure of choice for kidney procurement. In the course of 172 laparoscopic procurements, degloving of the renal capsule, a rare complication believed to be related to the method of extraction of the kidney, was encountered in 2 patients (1.2%). The complication was noted after revascularization of the kidney. A capsulotomy was performed to evacuate the subcapsular hematoma. No adverse effect was noted in the postoperative period in the transplanted kidneys.
