Key Words Kidney transplantation; Living donors; Nephrectomy; Graft survival; Perioperative care
Core Tip Living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) offers favorable early graft outcomes and improved donor safety through advances in selection, immunologic matching, and perioperative care. Donor kidney laterality, right vs left, remains a key technical consideration, with right-sided nephrectomy linked to higher early complication rates but comparable long-term outcomes. Rather than using laterality as an isolated quality indicator, this editorial calls for its assessment within a broader surgical and clinical context, integrating anatomical complexity, procedural planning, and center-specific expertise to support informed, case-specific decision-making in LDKT.
