In the field of surgery, the idea of performing organ transplants in a minimally invasive fashion has always been a significant technical challenge. The advent of the robotic approach facilitated the overcoming of difficulties in highly complex surgical procedures that demand high technical skill. Furthermore, robotic transplants are showing significant benefits in patient outcomes, particularly in the obese population. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the current state of robotics applications for transplant surgery. Kidney transplants were the first to be performed using a fully robotic approach. Since then, robotic surgery has gradually been applied to other organ transplants, with very recent reports of fully robotic lung and liver transplants. Further experiences and studies will be needed to verify their effectiveness and to satisfy some concerns regarding the longer warm ischemia time related to the robotic approach in comparison with open surgery. |
