Robot-assisted kidney transplant [IPG609]
NICE April 2018
  • This Interventional Procedures Guidance (IPG) concludes that current evidence on the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted kidney transplant is limited in quantity and quality. It presents recommendations in relation to patients with obesity, and patients for whom open kidney transplant surgery is suitable. 
  • The procedure should only be done by teams of surgeons with experience in both transplant surgery and robotic surgery.
