Core Tip This umbrella review separates donor (direct) from recipient/economic (indirect) evidence and standardizes effect reporting, heterogeneity, and grading of recommendations assessment, development and evaluation (GRADE). Donor robotics reduces blood loss and length of stay but lengthens operative time. Recipient robotics shows fewer conversions to open intervention and lower severe morbidity, with no mortality difference. Economic contrasts are context-dependent, with higher procedural but lower hospitalization costs for robotic vs. open, and laparoscopy the least expensive overall. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses counts, citation-matrix/corrected covered area, AMSTAR 2, and outcome-level GRADE profiles are provided to ensure an audit-ready package and to map evidence gaps that future transplant-specific studies must address.
