The CHU Henri Mondor in Créteil has successfully performed simultaneous kidney donation and transplantation using robotic assistance, reducing trauma for the organ. A 31-year-old man donated a kidney to his partner, who had been waiting for a transplant for a year. The procedure, noted for its precision and mini-invasive nature, allows for better recovery and has expanded eligibility to patients who might have previously been denied. Surgeons like Dr. Alexandre Ingels and Dr. Cécile Champy emphasize the advantages of robotic technology in these procedures.
