Summary

While robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) offers potential benefits such as minimal postoperative pain, better cosmesis, fewer wound infections, and shorter hospital stay, its efficacy in ABO-incompatible (ABO-i) KT compared to open KT (OKT) remains understudied. This study aims to compare ABO-i KT outcomes between RAKT and OKT. The study utilized data from 29 ABO-i RAKT and 210 ABO-i OKT cases performed at Asan Medical Center from October 2020 to February 2023. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate factors associated with a composite of biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR), de novo donor-specific antibodies (DSA), and overall graft failure.
