What are the medical procedures before surgery?
Potential donors must undergo a wide range of tests to determine their eligibility, including a full medical history, a battery of blood, urine, EKG, and tissue-typing tests, as well as psychological examinations. In addition, the renal anatomy of all donors is examined to ensure that they are suitable candidates for a laparoscopic nephrectomy--the minimally invasive procedure by surgeons to remove the kidney.
What is a Laparoscopic Nephrectomy? What is it like?
Instead of a single, large incision, a laparoscopic nephrectomy typically requires three, half-inch incisions, through which the surgeon inserts surgical instruments and a camera to view the operating field. Once the surgeon has freed up the kidney to be donated, he or she removes it from the patient through a slightly larger incision. The removed kidney is placed in a bag and chilled on ice until it can be implanted in the recipient. Since this technique uses smaller incisions, donors benefit greatly from reduced post-operative pain, speedier recovery times, and less scarring. The operation lasts 3 to 4 hours, and requires general anesthesia.
How long will I have to stay in the hospital?
On average, kidney donors spend two days in the hospital and can return to their normal activities within three weeks.
How will this affect my health?
Once a donor has recuperated from the surgery, they can expect to lead a completely normal life. You will not need to take any special medications, follow any dietary restrictions, or limit your physical activities.
