Cross-over kidney transplantation with simultaneous laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy: initial experience

Markus Giessing et al. Eur Urol. 2008 May.

Abstract

With cross-over living donor kidney transplantation, immunologic incompatibilities within the original donor/recipient pair can be overcome. As minimal invasive techniques for organ recovery are increasingly applied, this should also be performed in a cross-over kidney transplantation. We present the first report of a successful simultaneous laparoscopic kidney recovery for cross-over kidney transplantation as well as a review of the international practice of cross-over kidney transplantation in the context of national laws. Cross-over kidney transplantation should be encouraged. A databank on pairs willing to participate in organ exchange programs should be created.
