A Retrospective Cohort Analysis of Robotic Stapler Use in Robotic-Assisted Donor Nephrectomy
Bowl Mount Main Problem: Robotic-assisted techniques are common for living-donor nephrectomy.While robotic stapling offers increased surgeon control, there is limited comparative data versus laparoscopic linear stapler use for ligation of renal vessels.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 32 consecutive robotic-assisted donor nephrectomies by a sin
