ABSTRACT
Erectile function is a typical neurovascular process. Penile vascular endothelial dysfunction is indicated to be one of the important mechanisms of ED. Protective agents to improve penile vascular endothelial function show significant benefits to erectile function by decreasing the damage of oxidative stress and optimizing the related mediators. The protection of penile vascular endothelial function is a new approach to the treatment of ED.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the feasibility and safety of transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy in live-donors.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Two cases of live-donor underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy in May and August 2008 respectively and both were followed up.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>In two cases the operation time was 130, 10 min; blood loss was 50 ml; warm ischemic time was 30 s and 2 min; the length of artery was 4.0 cm and 3.5 cm; the length of vein was 3.0 cm. The grafted kidneys started to produce urine at 30 s and 10 s after blood supply. Renal function of donor returned to normal after two days. The donors were discharged at 7th day after the operation. Renal function of recipient was normal after 3 days.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy in live-donor is a safe and effective procedure, which provides kidney with satisfactory blood vessels and ureter for graft.</p>
