Pretransplant laparoscopic nephrectomy in adult polycystic kidney disease: a single centre experience

To report our experience with pretransplant laparoscopic nephrectomy in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), as ADPKD often progresses to end‐stage renal disease and most azotaemic patients with ADPKD have enlarged kidneys, making graft placement difficult.
