Purpose Reducing operative injuries is important in living donor nephrectomy. The robot-
assisted transperitoneal approach has some advantages than traditional laparoscopic …

Background As the demand for kidney transplants continues to increase globally, healthcare
institutions face a challenge to bridge the gap between patients waitlisted for kidney …

Results Left kidney nephrectomy was performed in 85 patients and we observed 25
multiples renal arteries. Mean estimated blood loss was 0, 8 g/dL. Mean operative time and …

Objectives To assess the safety and efficacy of introducing robotic‐assisted laparoscopic
donor nephrectomy (RALDN) to the standard retroperitoneal endoscopic donor …

Background Robot-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (RALDN) can help to improve
donor safety by enabling enhanced precision, flexibility, control, and vision. We are …

METHODS Between 2003 and 2015, in two academic centres, all patients who underwent a
donor nephrectomy by SLDN (group A) or RALDN were compared. We assessed patient's …

Objective To evaluate the effect of the learning curve for the hybrid technique of
retroperitoneoscopic living donor nephrectomy (RDN) on donor and recipient outcomes …

Background The number of robotic operations performed with the da Vinci Surgical System
has increased during the past decade. This system allows for greater maneuverability and …

Aims. We aimed to summarize available lines of evidence about intraoperative and
postoperative donor outcomes following robotic‐assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy …

Objective: To evaluate our initial experience with entirely robot‐assisted laparoscopic live
donor (RALD) nephrectomies. Methods: From January 2002 to April 2006, we carried out 38 …
