Robot-Assisted Kidney Transplantation

In this protocol, we have suggested step-by-step procedures for robot-assisted kidney transplantation without flipping. It is more natural to perform vascular anastomosis with a allograft in the peritoneal pouch and the renal vessels in the proper position. This technique can be applied to other solid organ transplants, such as the liver and pancreas.

We hope to expand the utility of minimally invasive surgical approaches using the robotic system in the field of transplantation. Robotic-assisted kidney transplantation can be studied only after getting some education about the robotic system. It is better to get help from an experienced surgeon.
