title: [Robotical laparoscopic nephrectomy for living donors].
abstract: Robotic surgery has been developed since the 2000s. Urology is the discipline that received the widest of the evolution of robotic surgery especially due to prostatectomy. Meanwhile kidney failure develops and kidney transplantation is unfortunately hampered by the number of cadaveric grafts available. Kidney living donation takes its rise, not including the development of minimally invasive surgery in which robotics has its place. We describe the environment of this development as well as the technique and the contribution of the operating nurse in the removal of kidney with the robotic approach in living donors.
