Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of learning curve on the perioperative course of robotic-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy compared with laparoscopic donor nephrectomy.
This study was designed to compare the standard and robotic-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy in terms of perioperative course, short-term postoperative outcome, and to evaluate the effect of surgeon's learning curve on these parameters. ⋯ Learning curve extends the operative time and laparoscopic system setup time in robotic-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy, however, after the learning process was completed, these parameters were similar between robotic-assisted and standard laparoscopic nephrectomy.
