Minimally invasive kidney transplantation: perioperative considerations and key 6-month outcomes.

Journal: Transplantation

PMID: 25606784

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive approaches to kidney transplantation (KT) have been described recently. However, information concerning perioperative management in these patients is lacking. Accordingly, in the current study, we describe our perioperative management strategy in patients undergoing robotic KT with regional hypothermia and report its safety and efficacy. Further, we describe key 6-month outcomes in these patients.
