Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Background: In the last years have been experience with three-dimensional-laparoscopy for the donor nephrectomy (3D-LDN). This is the report of first experience on hand-assisted 3D-LDN performed in the Kazakhstan within a single center. Methods: From 2017 to 2020, 20 3D-LDN performed in our center. The technique of performing all 3D-LDN was typical. The donor kidney extracted from abdomen through a hand-port. When necessary, drainage left. Results: The baseline characteristics of donors were statistically comparable (P>0.05). The donors were relatives of the recipients; all of them underwent left nephrectomy. During the 3D-LDN average warm ischemic time was 1159.6 seconds; operative time was 181.235.0 minutes; volume of blood loss was 4125.0 mL. There were no conversions to open surgery and major complications by Clavien-Dindo. The average drainage duration and postoperative hospitalization were 2.5-0.5 days.
