Abstract:INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) has been shown promising results in grafts coming from living donation. However, this technique has two main limitations. First, grafts coming from cadaveric donors, usually reserved to patients with advanced systemic disease who often present iliac artery plaques, are excluded from RAKT because of the lack of intraoperative haptic feedback. For this reason, we introduced 3D imaging reconstruction in RAKT through the augmented reality (AR… Show more
