A high level of expertise is required to perform the procedure. Robotic surgery, RAKT is performed by transplant surgeons with extensive training and experience in robotics and transplant surgery. Robotic surgery allows kidney transplantation to be performed under optimal operative conditions. It allows for a small incision and decreases the probability of infection and hernia. It has very minimal pain and allows the patient to recover faster than open surgery.

Although a few centers like Gujrat, and Delhi are offering Robotic surgery for kidney transplantation, with American Oncology Institute South is catching up on the technology. We have performed laparoscopic-assisted Nephrectomy for the donor and Robot-assisted Renal Transplant Surgery for the recipient.
