Abstract
Background: Hem-o-lock (polymer) vascular clips have been used over a long period for vascular control at donor nephrectomies. With our study, safety of hem-o-lock clip use at donor nephrectomies (conventional donor nephrectomy, transabdominal donor nephrectomy and retroperitonoscopic donor nephrectomy) has been evaluated.
