    Abstract

    We describe Australia's first reported case of robotic kidney autotransplantation for a complex renal artery aneurysm. It is potentially a safe, minimally invasive method of salvaging renal parenchyma and preservation of renal function in patients with complex renovascular conditions. This technique shows promise in carefully selected patients performed in centres with surgeons experienced in both kidney transplantation and the robotic platform.
