In the researchers' words
The purpose of this study is to explore whether robot-assisted surgery can reduce 30-day surgical complications compared to open surgery in kidney transplantation. Participants are adult recipients of kidney transplantation. Upon entry into the trial participants will be randomly assigned eiher open kidney transplantation or robot-assisted kidney transplantation. The participants in both groups will be treated in accordance with up-to-date guidelines and care. Our hypothesis is that robot-assisted surgery can reduce vascular complications by 15% and/or major surgical complicatons by 20% within 30 days of kidney transplantation compared to open surgery.
