The technique of kidney transplantation has been well established. The operation is typically performed through a lower quadrant muscle cutting incision. With advances in robotic technology, many procedures are now being performed using the robot. This article describes a simple model of ex‐vivo kidney transplantation using the robotic technique. This is a good training model and could be applied in select group of patients in the clinical setting. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
