Key Points

To evaluate the safety and feasibility of single-port robotic donor nephrectomy using the da Vinci SP system.
Conducted a case series on single-port robotic donor nephrectomy.
Assessed safety and feasibility of the procedure.
Evaluated early outcomes compared to traditional techniques.
Single-port robotic nephrectomy demonstrated favorable early outcomes.
The procedure was found to be safe for living donors.
Further larger studies are needed to confirm its advantages.

Implication

Initial experience shows favorable early outcomes in living donor nephrectomy, suggesting a safe and feasible alternative.

Abstract

SP-RDN is a feasible and safe approach for living donor nephrectomy, with favorable early outcomes. Larger studies are needed to confirm its advantages over traditional techniques.
