Comparison of hand‐assisted laparoscopic and open donor nephrectomy in living donors

Objectives:  Although the advent of (hand‐assisted) laparoscopic donor nephrectomy has had a positive effect on the donor pool, there is still some concern about the increased morbidity and safety of the laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. The aim of this study was to compare the results of hand‐assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (HALD) with open donor nephrectomy (ODN).
