| Abstract [eng] |
Kidney transplantation is the best treatment option for patients with end-stage renal disease. Although open surgery kidney transplantation remains the preferred method, minimally invasive surgery experiences increasing attention and trust among medical staff and patients. In this literature review, robot-assisted kidney transplantation and its outcomes are compared to alternative procedures such as open kidney transplantation or laparoscopic kidney transplantation. This review compares the clinical outcomes of robot-assisted kidney transplantation, subdivided into operative outcomes, functional outcomes, complications, and morbidity. The results present possible advantages of robot-assisted kidney transplantation over open kidney transplantation and laparoscopic kidney transplantation, address challenges during the process and give prospective suggestions for future perspectives. |
