Abstract:
Robotic surgery revolutionized minimally invasive surgery including kidney transplantation. Robot-assisted kidney transplantation(RAKT) has emerged as an alternative for kidney transplantation. RAKT from living donor kidney is a safe and feasible alternative to open kidney transplantation with less surgical complications without compromising renal function, graft and patient survival. The RAKT approach is promising with widespread use in the future.
