Reported narrative: A LITERATURE ARTICLE DESCRIBED A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN AUGUST 2020 TO JANUARY 2023 OF 40 PATIENTS WHO UNDERWENT DA VINCI-ASSISTED SINGLE-PORT EXTRAPERITONEAL KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION (SP EP-KT) PROCEDURES. THE MEDIAN AGE OF ALL PATIENTS WAS 54.45 (46.8-60.3) YEARS. THE MEDIAN BMI WAS 32.1 (29.8-37.4) KG/M2. THE 40 PATIENTS INCLUDED 24 MALES AND 16 FEMALES.

ONE CASE REQUIRED CONVERSION TO AN OPEN SURGERY DUE TO POOR ARTERIAL PULSATIONS AFTER COMPLETION OF VASCULAR ANASTOMOSIS WITH A DUSKY COLOR OF THE RENAL PARENCHYMA. THE PATIENT HAD AN UNEVENTFUL POSTOPERATIVE RECOVERY AND DID NOT HAVE SIGNIFICANT CLINICAL SEQUELAE OR GRAFT FAILURE.
