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...
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.
