Robotic renal transplantation: Current status

摘要: Introduction: Kidney transplantation (KT) has traditionally been performed by open renal transplantation, but recently, a few groups including our own have described minimally invasive approach to KT. We aim discuss the current status of robotic kidney (RKT) and describe technique RKT with regional hypothermia. Material Methods: used search terms OR robot assisted AND transplantation. Papers written in English concerning technical and/or clinical outcomes following were selected. Three hundred eighteen unique articles retrieved nine relevant. Comparative data hypothermia versus KT (OKT) from group also included. Findings: Nine papers, so far, evaluated role conclusively established feasibility, safety, reproducibility RKT, although these studies experienced surgeons/teams. The contemporary published series note that rejection rates similar OKT patients. Mean serum creatinine at 6 months patients was equivalent, across three series. Most dramatic reduction wound-related complication rates. Conclusion: appears be safe surgical alternative standard is associated reduced postoperative pain, analgesic requirement, better cosmesis. its infancy, lower
