Surgical Approach to Redo Open Living Donor Nephrectomy via the Same Flank Incision: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Living donor nephrectomy is performed with donor safety as the highest priority, and repeat donor nephrectomy through the original incision is rarely reported in transplantation literature. We present the case of a 33-year-old male living kidney donor and a 48-year-old female recipient who underwent scheduled kidney transplantation. The initial procedure was aborted before vascular ligation because the recipient developed intraoperative anaphylactic shock after anesthesia induction. Three weeks later, transplantation was reattempted using the same donor flank incision. Dense retroperitoneal adhesions were encountered, requiring posterior peritoneal dissection to safely expose the renal hilum and surrounding structures. The donor kidney was successfully harvested and transplanted without postoperative complications. This case demonstrates that repeat open donor nephrectomy via the original incision may be feasible with carefully selected patients with a cautious surgical plan and multidisciplinary perioperative management.
