Effect of Fully Laparoscopic Left Hepatectomy on Donor Interest in Living Donor Liver Transplantation (LDLT)
Purpose: Laparoscopy was extended to liver donation to reduce invasiveness and our center has offered selected patients fully laparoscopic procurement since 8/12. We sought to…2015 American Transplant Congress
Paired Match Power and Challenges for O-Patients in Kidney Paired Donation
Stanford University, Stanford, CA.
Introduction: In kidney paired donation (KPD), Paired Match Power (PMP), defined as Probability{Donor Compatible}×Probability{Patient Compatible}, can be used to prioritize difficult to match pairs. However,…2015 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Outcomes of Living Kidney Donors With Medullary Sponge Kidney
Nephrology and Hypertension, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
