Objectives: Nowadays, Robotic assistedkidney transplantation (RAKT) is considered a lessinvasive alternative to the Open Kidney Transplantation(OKT) with several advantages such as image magnification,3D vision and articulated instruments and with arelatively short learning curve for an experienced surgeon.RAKT has shown comparable outcomes with theOKT literature data in terms of surgical and functionalresults. RAKT may decrease the complication rate, meanhospital stay, postoperative pain, and also improve aestheticoutcomes.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAdrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and heterogeneous disease, with challenging management and poor prognosis. Surgery withcurative intent is the preferred treatment option for localized disease, with a reported 5-year survival rate of 55% for complete resections. However, owing to the high risk of recurrence there is a need for adjuvant therapies, such as mitotane, an adrenolytic drug, or irradiation, while in advanced disease the standard of careis a combined chemotherapy scheme.

- Open kidney transplantation (OKT) is the standard procedure for end-stage renal disease, but robotic-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) is gaining acceptance, especially for more complex cases after overcoming initial learning curves in specialized centers.
- A systematic review revealed that RAKT techniques have evolved, with intraperitoneal methods showing advantages for obese patients, and the Vattikuti-Medanta technique maintaining optimal graft temperature during surgery.
- RAKT is comparable to OKT in functionality and offers benefits such as reduced complication rates and those in need of weight management can be better accommodated through RAKT, making it a favorable surgical option.
