Abstract

Minimally invasive techniques in kidney transplantation have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional open surgical approaches. These techniques offer various advantages, including smaller incisions, reduced postoperative pain, faster recovery, and fewer complications. Over the last two decades, the adoption of laparoscopic and roboticassisted approaches has revolutionized kidney transplant surgery, particularly in living donor transplantation. This article reviews the evolution of minimally invasive techniques in kidney transplantation, examining their benefits, challenges, and future potential. Despite the significant advantages, there are still limitations in terms of surgeon experience, patient selection, and the technical complexity of these procedures. However, ongoing advancements in technology and surgical techniques continue to improve patient outcomes and expand the scope of minimally invasive kidney transplantation.
