Resumen:
Purpose Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease. In order to reduce the morbidity of the open surgery, a robotic-assisted approach has been recently introduced. According to the published literature, the robotic surgery allows the performance of kidney transplantation under optimal operative conditions while maintaining the safety and the functional results of the open approach.
Methods We present the case of a mother donating to her daughter affected by end-stage renal disease (ESRD) due to Alport disease (creatinine: 353 umol/l; GFR: 13 ml/min per 1.73 m(2)).
Results A robotic-assisted kidney transplant (RAKT) was successfully performed. Surgical time was 120 min with 53 min for vascular suture. The estimated blood loss was <50 cc. The kidney started to produce urine intra-operatively with a rate of 250 cc/h, which remained constant over the next hours. During the first postoperative day, the patient was ambulating and started oral intake. Pain was minimal, and no analgesia was required after 48 h. Serum creatinine improved progressively to 89 umol/l on postoperative day 3. No surgical complications were recorded, and the patient was sent home on postoperative day 5.
Conclusion We present the first Spanish transperitoneal pure RAKT from a living-related donor. We believe this is the second pure robotic-assisted kidney transplantation case performed in Europe. We believe that the potential advantages of RAKT are related to the quality of the vascular anastomosis, the possible lower complication rate and the shorter recovery of the recipients.
