Summary
Over the last decade the major developments in renal transplant surgery techniques have been related to laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy. However, in more recent years there have also been advances in surgical techniques in the recipient, particularly with regard to minimally invasive and robotic assisted surgery.
This chapter discusses the various techniques for live donor nephrectomy in detail, including the use of robotic-assisted surgery. Recent trends in the peri-operative management of live donors are also discussed. Finally, new techniques in recipient surgery are explored, including minimally invasive approaches, approaches to anastomosing multiple arteries and the use of suture free vascular anastomosis devices.
