文摘

Living-related renal transplantation is the optimal therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Normally, complications are rare in living-related donor nephrectomy. However, we experienced a case of pulmonary embolism (PE). The incidence of PE in living donor nephrectomy is rare, but the total incidence of PE in surgical operations has recently increased. The patient in the case reported here was diagnosed relatively early and recovered with appropriate treatment. It is very important for surgeons to realize that serious complications such as PE can develop in any case of living donor nephrectomy.
