Single-setting robot-assisted kidney transplantation consecutive to single-port laparoscopic nephrectomy in a child and robot-assisted living-related donor nephrectomy: initial Ghent experience

Kidney transplantation (KT) is the gold-standard treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in children.
