Abstract:Objective: To investigate the feasibility of robotic-assisted kidney transplantation in graft with multiple vessels. Methods: One patient underwent robotic allogeneic kidney transplantation in September 23, 2019. One patient underwent robotic kidney autotransplantation in December 30, 2019. Separate anastomosis was performed on the external iliac artery. Results: The surgical operations were successfully completed. For the robotic allogeneic kidney transplantation, operation time was 148 min, the warm ischemia was 1 min 12 s, and the serum creatinine level was 126.6 μmol/L at 7th day and 123.9 μmol/L at 1st year postoperatively. The patient was followed up for 1 year without postoperative complications. For the robotic kidney autotransplantation, operation time was 8 h 30 min, the warm ischemia was 2 min 40 s, the postoperative serum creatinine was increased in the short time, and the serum creatinine was 121.2 μmol/L at 6th month postoperatively. The patient was followed up for 6 months without postoperative complications. Conclusions: The robotic-assisted kidney transplantation in graft with multiple vessels is feasible and further optimization is needed.
