YAU Working Group Kidney Transplantation

The YAU Kidney Transplantation Working Group is a young, dynamic, and highly motivated team of urologists from different European countries, committed to advancing the field of kidney transplantation within the European Association of Urology (EAU). 

The group was founded in June 2021 by Dr. Angelo Territo and, since then, has experienced remarkable scientific growth, building a strong trajectory in collaborative research and producing numerous high-impact publications in the field of kidney transplantation.

As a small but active group, we collaborate across institutions and specialties with the aim of promoting high-quality research, education, and innovation in kidney transplantation.

Research and development objectives

  • Oncological aspects in both donors and recipients
  • Urological and surgical complications after transplantation and their optimal management
  • Surgical innovation in open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted kidney transplantation
  • Long-term functional and graft outcomes
  • Emerging technologies and new developments in transplantation

What we do

To achieve our goals, we focus on:

  • Conducting systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and collaborative clinical research
  • Standardizing the evaluation and management of post-transplant complications
  • Supporting the development and dissemination of training pathways in robotic kidney transplantation
  • Promoting multicenter, international collaboration among early-career academic urologists
  • Facilitating an environment that encourages scientific exchange, mentorship, and active participation in research projects
