Donor Outcomes in Kidney Transplant Procedures
This study is looking back at information from past kidney transplant procedures to understand the experiences of living kidney donors. Researchers are comparing two types of minimally invasive surgery: hand-assisted and robotic kidney transplantation. They will collect clinical data from medical records of donors and recipients who had these procedures at Methodist Dallas Medical Center between January 2006 and November 2019. The study aims to understand donor demographics (personal information), which kidney was donated (laterality), and how long the surgery took. You might be eligible if you were a kidney donor or recipient who had one of these minimally invasive kidney transplants and were at least 18 years old at the time of the procedure.
- Study design
- This is a retrospective, observational study that will look at data from 240 past kidney donors and recipients. It is not testing a new treatment but rather reviewing existing medical records.
- What's involved
- As a retrospective study, you would not need to do anything. Researchers will be reviewing existing medical records.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The study collects data from procedures performed between January 2006 and November 2019, focusing on information available during that period.
