Journal: Urology
PMID: 36921843

Abstract

PURPOSE: Minimally invasive kidney autotransplantation (KAT) has demonstrated reduced morbidity, however multiport robotic approach required patient repositioning and multiple sets of incisions. We present our initial series of single-port (SP) robotic KAT, ideal for multi-quadrant surgeries, and aim to evaluate feasibility and safety of the novel approach.
