The Outcomes of Living Donor Robotic Assisted Kidney Transplantation

A Retrospective Cohort Study of Prospectively Collect the Outcomes of Recipients After Robot-assisted Kidney Transplantation

The technology for robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) has become increasingly advanced, with numerous studies demonstrating comparable outcomes between RAKT surgery and open surgery. This advancement is particularly noteworthy as it extends its suitability to transplant patients with obesity. It will be important to explore the results of robot-assisted kidney transplantation as compared with open surgery or within cohorts.
