Renal artery aneurysms (RAAs) are a rare vascular condition. Robot-assisted surgery offers a minimally invasive approach for RAA repair, potentially improving surgical outcomes. This review investigates the current evidence on the effectiveness and limitations of this technique. A systematic search following PRISMA guidelines identified relevant studies across five electronic databases. Studies investigating the use of robot-assisted surgery for RAA repair were included. The review identified 11 studies encompassing a total of 23 patients. Procedures included aneurysmectomy, end-to-end anastomosis, prosthetic graft repair, and even coil embolization. All surgeries were successful, with only minor complications reported in four cases. Robot-assisted RAA repair shows promise as a minimally invasive approach with encouraging preliminary outcomes. However, the limited data come from small studies. Future advancements in robotic technology hold the potential to optimize this approach for improved patient care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
