Background: Every effort should be made to optimize surgical techniques and to minimize potential morbidity rates associated with live donor operations. Advances in a minimally invasive approach by robotic surgery to donor nephrectomy have raised the possibility of applying this technique to live donor bowel resections for intestinal transplantation.
Methods: We report the first 5 consecutive cases of a robotic-assisted live donor ileal segmentectomy. We describe the technical aspects of the procedure, discuss the rationale for considering this option, and evaluate potential advantages of this approach.
Results: We found that this new approach is associated with less postoperative discomfort, a shorter hospital length of stay, and a faster recovery of bowel function compared to our previous open surgery.
Conclusions: Our initial experience suggests that robotic surgery is a safe and feasible procedure for live donor ileal resection for intestinal transplantation and is a useful alternative to conventional open surgery.

Background: Data on barriers to live-kidney donation in the rural United States is limited despite its widespread adoption across the country.
Methods: A retrospective review of 1776 self-referrals for live-kidney donation between June 1, 2012, and May 31, 2022, was conducted. Multivariate analyses evaluated independent factors which may have potentially influenced donation at different stages in its process.
Introduction: Living-donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) is often performed using hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (HALDN). Adherent perinephric fat (APF) can complicate HALDN, increasing operative time. The Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) score predicts APF preoperatively.

Background: This study assesses the impact of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR mismatch and donor-estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on outcomes of living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT), which are especially relevant to the availability of multiple donors and paired kidney exchanges.
Methods: Using data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR), we retrospectively analyzed graft survival in adult LDKT recipients transplanted between January 2013 and September 2022. Recipients with 0 HLA-DR mismatches were compared to those with 1-2 HLA-DR mismatches.

Oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC; marketed as Surgicel® and Tabotamp®) is routinely used as an intraoperative hemostatic agent. Rarely, residual ORC has been associated with a foreign body reaction generating cystic or granulomatous lesions (i.e.
