[Transperineal laparoscopic nephrectomy in live-donors].
To evaluate the feasibility and safety of transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy in live-donors.



Two cases of live-donor underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy in May and August 2008 respectively and both were followed up.



In two cases the operation time was 130, 10 min; blood loss was 50 ml; warm ischemic time was 30 s and 2 min; the length of artery was 4.0 cm and 3.5 cm; the length of vein was 3.0 cm. The grafted kidneys started to produce urine at 30 s and 10 s after blood supply. Renal function of donor returned to normal after two days. The donors were discharged at 7th day after the operation. Renal function of recipient was normal after 3 days.



Transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy in live-donor is a safe and effective procedure, which provides kidney with satisfactory blood vessels and ureter for graft.
