Abstract
Laparoscopy has become the standard method for donor kidney extraction, since 1995 [1]. Graft extraction is one of the most critical steps in living donor nephrectomy. Extraction incision plays an important role in patient outcome. It has an impact on post-operative pain, wound complications and cosmesis. Moreover the process of extraction is a time-sensitive technique and can have a impact on ultimate graft function. Unlike other ablative laparoscopic procedures, it is imperative that the kidney has to be extracted without any damage to the graft. The extent and location of the incision can concede the inherent advantage laparoscopic procedures possess over the open technique. Over the years, surgeons have resorted to various techniques of extraction to reduce the morbidity and improve the safety profile.
