Abstract
We read the comments by Favi and Morabito, published in the recent issue of the World Journal of Transplantation, about our recently published paper and am concerned that our paper is being misrepresented as a debate on donor nephrectomy techniques. Ours is a surgical paper, in which we discussed selection criteria for right kidneys and how to best utilize the vein, because it is the vein length that causes serious technical complications. Despite limitations of our healthcare resources, the excellent donor and recipient outcomes in right kidneys have validated our current donation and transplant techniques.
