Last edited: 4/10/2026

Overview

Open kidney transplantation (OKT) is a surgical procedure to transplant a kidney via an open incision. Robotic-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) is a minimally invasive alternative that has been evaluated to potentially reduce complications in this patient population 1.

Diagnosis

Management

  • Robotic-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) may be associated with a lower incidence of delayed graft function and post-operative complications compared to open kidney transplantation (OKT) 1.

    • Special Populations

    Key Recommendations

  • Robotic-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) may be associated with a lower incidence of delayed graft function and post-operative complications compared to open kidney transplantation (OKT) 1. (Evidence: Moderate)
