Abstract:Objective: To evaluate perioperative and early postoperative robotic kidney transplantation outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and postoperative follow-up outcomes of 8 patients who underwent robotic kidney transplantation in Chinese PLA General Hospital from Mar. 2018 to Mar. 2019. Data were expressed as mean and standard deviation. The age was (26 ± 6) years old. Body mass index (BMI) was (20.3 ± 4.1) kg/m2. Preoperative serum creatinine was (1 043.2 ± 253.6) μmol/L. All the donors underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic left living donor nephrectomy. Results: All 8 patients completed the operation successfully. The serum creatinine was (110.6 ± 29.7) μmol/L on postoperative day 7, (106.1 ± 20.8) μmol/L at 1-year follow-up, and (104.4 ± 24.7) μmol/L at 2-year follow-up (6 cases). The total operation time was (169.4 ± 25.4) min, the warm ischemia time was (1.6 ± 0.7) min, and the re-warming time was (45 ± 6) min. Conclusions: Robotic kidney transplantation is safe and feasible. Postoperative complication rate is low and postoperative recovery is rapid. The short- to medium-term renal transplantation survives well.
