Abstract

In article “Cheng CT, Deitch JM, Haines IE, Porter DJ, Kilbreath SL. Do medical procedures in the arm increase the risk of lymphoedema after axillary surgery? A review. ANZ J. Surg. 2014; 84: 510–4.”, the authors describe the use of Weck Hem-o-lok clips for ligature of the renal artery during what is effectively laparoscopic donor nephrectomy.1 Yet the manufacturer,Teleflex Medical, issued a product warning in June 20062 contraindicating the use of these clips on the renal artery during laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Medical Device Safety Communication3 to the same effect in 2011. Teleflex’s action followed at least three donor deaths that occurred in similar circumstances: after uncomplicated laparoscopic donor nephrectomy, sudden death in the recovery room from exsanguination occurred which was thought to be due to clip dislodgement.
