Abstract
In a variation of laparoscopic surgery we performed retroperitoneal surgery using endoscopy and a special retractor in 3 cases of live donor nephrectomy. The procedure using retroperitoneal endoscopy offers several advantages compared to conventional live donor nephrectomy. With the development of retractors to obtain operating space and the further development of surgical techniques retroperitoneal endoscopic live donor nephrectomy can be established as an alternative surgical method for harvesting donated kidneys.Keywords
