Robots transform kidney transplants at UAB

UAB just made history by using a robot to perform a kidney transplant—the first time this has happened in the Southeast. Surgeons now guide robotic arms from a console, making smaller incisions and helping patients recover faster with less pain and scarring. This is a big deal for folks with higher BMIs or advanced disease, who often face tougher recoveries. The hospital says this tech could mean more people get lifesaving transplants, with fewer complications and shorter hospital stays. What do you think—are robots the future of surgery, or do we still need more hands-on doctors? #Tech #UAB #KidneyTransplant
