Robotic-assisted kidney auto-transplantation (RAKAT) presents a novel, minimally invasive and highly accurate approach. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed patients undergoing standard (eRAKAT) and totally intracorporeal RAKAT (iRAKAT) in a total of 3 institutions. eRAKAT consisted in a bench surgery for graft preparation after the robotic nephrectomy and was followed by graft transplantation. iRAKAT consisted in a nephrectomy phase followed by intracorporeal reperfusion and transplantation. RESULTS: Between 01/2017 and 02/2021, 29 patients underwent RAKAT. 15 and 14 were eRAKAT and iRAKAT, respectively. Median age was 42 (39-50.5) and 37.5 (25.8-55.4) for the eRAKAT and iRAKAT, respectively. In the eRAKAT and iRAKAT groups, 10, 4 and 1 patients and 10, 4, and 0 patients presented with 1, 2 and 3 arteries, respectively and 13 and 2 patients and 14 and 0 patients presented with 1 and 2 veins, respectively. Pre-op median serum creatinine and GFR were for the eRAKAT group 0.79 mg/dL (0.71-0.86) and 90 (78.4-109.1) and for the iRAKAT group 0.83 (0.76-1.05) and 84 (67-99), respectively. None required conversion to open surgery. For the standard group, median operative time was 360 min (339-397). eRAKAT median warm ischemia, cold ischemia and rewarming ischemia times were 3 (2-4), 156 (131-194), 44 (43-49.5) min respectively. For the iRAKAT group, median operative time was 307 min (292.5-467.7). Median warm ischemia, cold ischemia and rewarming ischemia times were 3 (2.8-3), 27.5 (20-55.1), 46.5 (24.2-58.2) min respectively. 3 patients developed classified as Clavien-Dindo >2 in the eRAKAT group and 1 patient for the iRAKAT, none led to graft loss. At 90 days follow-up, serum creatinine and GFR were 0.78 (0.71-0.82) and 85.5 (81.7-109.4), and 0.91 (0.8-1.1) and 81 (69-87.5) for the eRAKAT and iRAKAT group respectively. CONCLUSIONS: eRAKAT and iRAKAT represents a promising minimally-invasive technique in selected cases with acceptable ischemia time and operative outcomes. The eRAKAT technique leads to the advantages of a better graft vascular management and reconstruction. The iRAKAT technique despite the higher technical difficulty, leads to shorter cold ischemia times. Comparative studies are needed to characterize and define the indications for the two approaches.
