Feasibility of simultaneous donor nephrectomy and kidney transplantation using a shared single-port robotic platform.

15 pairs underwent a simultaneous single-port robotic approach in which both donor nephrectomy and recipient transplant were completed using the same single-port robotic platform, while 30 cases underwent laparoscopic donor nephrectomy followed by single-port robotic kidney transplantation.

Outcomes included operative time, graft ischemia times, perioperative complications, pain scores, length of stay, and graft function.

Baseline donor characteristics were similar between groups.

Donors in the single-port group reported lower postoperative day 1 pain scores (p = 0.03).
