“…Kieszek et al analyzed the impact of pretransplant BMI on graft function [30]. They concluded that a high patient BMI (>30 kg/m 2 ) at the time of KT is related to the incidence of primary allograft failure and acute rejection.…”

“…24,[44][45][46][47] Overall DGF rate for all renal transplants at this centre during the studied time period was 36% and consistent with that of many centres. 13,14,18 It is slightly higher than some centres, 46,48 however, possibly due to increased use of marginal organs at this centre. of Allograft function by creatinine and eGFR also remained similar between groups for the first year (Table 2).…”

Background: Many centres deny obese patients with a body mass index (BMI) >35 access to kidney transplantation due to increased intraoperative and postoperative complications. Methods: From August 2017 to December 2019, 73 consecutive cases of kidney transplantation in morbidly obese patients were enrolled at a single university at the initiation of a robotic transplant surgery program. Outcomes of patients who underwent robotic assisted kidney transplant (RAKT) were compared to frequencymatched patients undergoing open kidney transplant (OKT).Results: A total of 24 morbidly obese patients successfully underwent RAKT, and 49 obese patients received an OKT. The RAKT group developed fewer surgical site infections (SSI) than the OKT group. Graft function, creatinine, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were similar between groups 1 year after surgery. Graft and patient survival were 100% for both groups.Conclusions: RAKT offers a safe alternative for morbidly obese patients, who may otherwise be denied access to OKT.
