Abstract Background: Controlling of the renal vessels is a critical step in live donor nephrectomy (LDN). Currently, mainly 2 devices, Hem-o-Lok clips and staplers, are utilized to control vessels during LDN. Both of them have advantages and disadvantages. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis was aimed to compare the safety and the efficacy of the 2 devices and to identify the better one in LDN. A systematic search for related publications in the databases of PubMed, Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science through February 2018 was performed. Eight studies were selected and evaluated with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Results: The meta-analysis result showed that utilization of Hem-o-Lok clips resulted in greater amount of estimated blood loss (mean differences [MD]: 40.10; 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.37–75.84) and longer time of warm ischemia (WIT) (MD: 55.61; 95% CI 36.79–74.43) than using staplers. Residual vascular length of grafts in clip group was longer than that in stapler group (MD: 2.51; 95% CI 0.78–4.24). However, the differences in primary outcomes such as device failure rate, death rate, and severe hemorrhage rate, were not significant between these 2 groups. In addition, utilization of Hem-o-Lok clips costed approximate $400 lower than staplers per patient. Conclusion: This study revealed that Hem-o-Lok clips and staplers have the similar function in LDN renal ligation, regarding the device failure rate, death rate, and severe hemorrhage rate. However, the surgeons would benefit from the clips in terms of the residue length of vessels, these outstanding features provide operation convenience and flexibility, such as right-sided donor nephrectomies, early vascular bifurcation, and rare vascular variation. In addition, the clips have potential economic advantages. In some developing countries, it would reduce the healthcare expenditure.
