Robotic-assisted kidney transplantation: our first case.

World journal of urology
PURPOSE: Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease. In order to reduce the morbidity of the open surgery, a robotic-assisted approach has been recently introduced. According to the published literatur...

Live-Donor Kidney Transplant Outcome Prediction (L-TOP) using artificial intelligence.

Nephrology, dialysis, transplantation : official publication of the European Dialysis and Transplant Association - European Renal Association
BACKGROUND: Outcome prediction for live-donor kidney transplantation improves clinical and patient decisions and donor selection. However, the currently used models are of limited discriminative or calibration power and there is a critical need to im...

Chylous Ascites After Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy: Is Early Surgical Intervention Necessary?

Experimental and clinical transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation
OBJECTIVES: Chylous ascites is a rare complication that may occur after living donor nephrectomy. The continuous loss of lymphatics, which carries a high risk of morbidity, may ensue in possible immunodeficiency and protein-calorie malnutrition. Here...

[The first 50 robot-assisted donor nephrectomies : Lessons learned].

Der Urologe. Ausg. A
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive donor nephrectomy (DN) is considered the gold standard, but the role of robot-assisted surgery is still controversial.

Comparison of semi-automatic and deep learning-based automatic methods for liver segmentation in living liver transplant donors.

Diagnostic and interventional radiology (Ankara, Turkey)
PURPOSE: To compare the accuracy and repeatability of emerging machine learning based (i.e. deep) automatic segmentation algorithms with those of well-established semi-automatic (interactive) methods for determining liver volume in living liver trans...

Selection and Short-Term Outcomes of Living Kidney Donors in Singapore - An Analysis of the Donor Care Registry.

Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore
INTRODUCTION: Transplant rates in Singapore have been falling and there is limited information on baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes of living kidney donors nationally. This study aimed to determine the safety of living kidney donor trans...

Robot-Assisted Harvesting of Kidneys for Transplantation and Global Complications for the Donor.

Transplantation proceedings
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted kidney harvesting from living donors is feasible and safe. We report the results of a mono-centric experience relative to 98 consecutive robotic nephrectomies with emphasis on global donor complications.

Implementation of a User-Friendly, Flexible Expert System for Selecting Optimal Set of Kidney Exchange Combinations of Patients in a Transplantation Center.

Transplantation proceedings
INTRODUCTION: For end-stage renal disease patients, kidney transplantation is the only long-term solution. The number of deceased donors is limited. Living kidney donation is subject to strict regulations, limiting possible donors only to the extende...
