Prospective Nonrandomized Comparison Between Open and Robot-Assisted Kidney Transplantation: Analysis of Midterm Functional Outcomes.

Abstract：

: Introduction: To compare short- and midterm outcomes of the first 55 patients undergoing robot-assisted kidney transplant (RAKT) with patients undergoing open kidney transplant (OKT) during the same period in a tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods: Data of all end-stage renal disease patients undergoing renal transplant were prospectively maintained. All graft kidneys were harvested laparoscopically. Both RAKT and OKT were performed using standardized techniques, and all RAKTs were performed by a single experienced robotic surgeon. Chi-square test/Fisher exact test was done for categorical data, and Mann-Whitney U test was done for continuous data. Discrete variables were expressed in absolute numbers and percentages. For all tests, p < 0.05 was considered significant. All results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation or median with range. Results: Between April 2016 and September 2018, 55 patients underwent RAKT. The same was compared with 152 patients who underwent OKT. The two groups were comparable in terms of age, gender, and body mass index. Duration on hemodialysis was significantly higher in the RAKT group, and hemoglobin and donor kidney glomerular filtration rate was significantly better in the RAKT group. Requirement of perioperative analgesia was significantly less in the RAKT group. Rewarm ischemia time was significantly longer in the RAKT group. The fall in serum creatinine was slower in RAKT group till 3 months. The serum creatinine levels were statistically similar in the two cohorts at 3 months (p = 0.082), which was maintained at median 29 months of follow-up (p = 0.067). Tacrolimus levels on postoperative day 2 were found to be significantly higher in RAKT cohort (17.98 ± 14.41) vs OKT cohort (11.38 ± 6.93). Surgical-site infections were rare in the RAKT group. Conclusions: RAKT confers advantage of decreased wound morbidity with similar functional outcomes compared with OKT in midterm. It looks promising; however, long-term follow-up of larger numbers of patients is needed.
