Abstract
To obtain optimal outcomes, it is vital to continually investigate variables potentially effecting rejection and graft failures. 407 renal transplant recipients who were transplanted at The Transplant Center of the Lehigh Valley from January 2009 to December 2014 were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Variables potentially influencing graft survival, including delayed graft function, and cell mediated and …

Abstract
Although the first FDA approved utilization of Intuitive Surgical’s da Vinci® Surgery System dates back to the year 2000, the Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) only began using this emergent technology for minimally invasive surgery in 2007. Since the inception of the Robotic Surgery Department roughly 8 years ago, the LVHN has performed over 4,000 robotic cases—a number seemingly large enough to derive valuable …
