Twenty-two-year-old Kristen McLoughlin was one of the first kidney donors in the country to have kidney removed through a single opening or incision, a new procedure called single incision laparoscopic surgery.
Hear what Kristen has to say about this scarless procedure why she decided to donate, the care she received at UMMC, which has performed more living donor kidney removals than any other hospital in the country, and more.
About the Procedure:
The University of Maryland Medical Center is the first hospital in Maryland and only the third in the United States to perform this single-port, natural orifice kidney removal surgery through the navel for a living kidney donor.
During the procedure, surgeons use a single opening in the navel (belly button) as they manipulate a camera and two laparoscopic instruments to separate the kidney from its attachments in the abdomen. The kidney is then removed through that same opening. Only a tiny bandage is required to close the navel, and there are no scars.
