621 The latest innovations in robot assisted kidney transplantation

Dr. Angelo Territo

Recent advances in robotic kidney transplantation are redefining surgical precision and patient outcomes. The introduction of the cold ischemia device has optimized graft preservation and reduced ischemic injury. Surgeons now leverage 3D reconstruction and augmented reality to map iliac artery plaques preoperatively, improving safety and vascular anastomosis accuracy. Long-term data from the RAKT 8-year follow-up study, published in European Urology in 2025, confirm sustained graft function and excellent survival rates, demonstrating the maturity and reliability of robotic-assisted techniques. These innovations position robotic kidney transplantation at the forefront of modern surgical technology
