Myth: Kidney donation surgery usually leaves a lot of scarring.

Advances in surgical techniques have made kidney donation far less invasive than many people imagine. Most living kidney donations today are performed using laparoscopic surgery, which involves small incisions—usually three or four—that heal with minimal scarring. Donors often return to normal daily activities within weeks, and most go on to live long, healthy lives.

If you or a loved one has questions about living donation, GiftWorks offers a unique opportunity to speak directly with a Living Donor Navigator—someone who has donated a kidney themselves. Just complete the contact form on my website to learn more: https://giftworksuuh.com/kathiec/
