Degloving of the renal capsule: a rare complication of laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy.
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.
