Overcoming surgical challenges with robotic assistance: robot-assisted nephrectomy of a failed renal allograft after complex en-bloc dual kidney transplantation.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We present the case of a 37-year-old male who underwent infant donor en-bloc dual kidney transplantation (EBKT) and subsequently developed left allograft failure with severe refractory urinary tract infection secondary to long-standing ureteropelvic junction obstruction and hydronephrosis. After failure of conservative anti-infective therapy to control recurrent infection, the patient underwent successful robot-assisted extracapsular allograft nephrectomy (ECAN), with the primary surgical indication of eradicating the source of refractory infection in the obstructed, completely non-functional allograft. The procedure was completed in 145 min with minimal blood loss (20 mL). The patient was discharged on postoperative day 5 with complete resolution of symptoms and preserved function of the contralateral viable graft. This case demonstrates that robot-assisted surgery offers a safe and precise surgical option for failed allograft nephrectomy after complex pediatric EBKT, with favorable perioperative outcomes in this specific scenario involving distorted anatomy and severe adhesions.
