RESUMEN

Objective To evaluate the possibility of no-beparin open operation at low costal arch in live donor nephrectomy via retroperitoneal approach. Methods The effects of 134 cases no-beparin operation and 82 eases heparinized operation at low costal arch in live donor nephrectomy via retroperitoneal approach during 2003.5 to 2008.5 in our hospital were retrospective analyzed. Results The kidneys of the donors in two groups were successfully harvested. The operation time varied from 110 rain to 200 rnin, and warm isebemia time varied from lOs to 20s. Delayed graft function (DGF) was oceurred in one ease in each group. There was no signifieant difference in live donor nephreetomy between the two groups(P >0. 05), but the no-beparin group had less bleeding. Conclusion The no-beparin open operation at low eostal arch in live donor nephrectomy via retroperitoneal approach is technieal]y feasible and safe, and has less bleeding, and little influence on the allograft.
