The adoption of the robotic platform for donor nephrectomies in 2002 has been the most
recent advancement in operation since the laparoscopic donor nephrectomy in 1995. This …

Introduction: Since the first description of robot-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy for
living donor renal transplantation, additional studies have noted outcomes comparable to …

Background. Minimally invasive laparoscopic nephrectomy is a well-established alternative
to open surgery in living donors for kidney transplantation. Donor mortality and morbidity …

Objectives Robotic-assisted donor nephrectomy has become increasingly popular in recent
years. We sought to compare robotic-assisted outcomes to operative outcomes in a …

Background We aimed to explore differences in outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic donor
nephrectomies (LDN). Methods This study compared robotic and laparoscopic surgical …

Background The number of robotic operations performed with the da Vinci Surgical System
