| Core Tip |
Robotic donor nephrectomy is increasingly explored as a refinement of minimally invasive living donor surgery. The matched analysis by Christou et al. demonstrates that robot-assisted and hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy achieve equivalent donor safety, graft outcomes, and perioperative recovery, with early differences in warm ischaemia time or workflow showing no clinical impact. Importantly, the robotic platform offers advantages in precision, visual control, and surgeon ergonomics, with performance improving rapidly along a compressed learning curve. These findings provide practical guidance for programmes considering robotics as a complementary modality that enhances reproducibility and long-term sustainability without compromising donor protection. |
