Back from #ATC26, kicking off Day 1 of our SORT Symposium! Amazed by the interest in robotic solid organ transplant. Humbled to have true leaders in the field with us — excited to learn from each other and make new connections. #SORT2026 #ATC2026 @CleClinicUro

That’s a wrap on #atc2026Boston. This moment of zen has been brought to you by KidneyPod and the team at @DiatiroHealth. Surgeons - thanks for filling out our survey at KidneyPod.com and sharing how you keep your cool.

One early theme from #ATC2026Boston conversations: There is no single “standard” way surgeons manage the kidney between ice and reperfusion. The workflow changes by surgeon, center, anatomy, exposure, donor quality, open vs robotic approach, and how long the anastomosis takes

That variability is exactly why we’re asking transplant surgeons to complete the KidneyPod practice survey at #atc2026Boston Before asking the field to change, we need to understand what the field is already doing. Survey: KidneyPod.com Booth 339 at ATC

#ATC2026Boston ATC starts today. The kidney leaves ice before it receives blood. We’re asking kidney transplant surgeons how they manage that interval today.

Robotic kidney transplantation is at the forefront of transplant surgery innovation. As adoption grows, transplant programs are evaluating how this minimally invasive approach may improve outcomes, expand access, and enhance patient care. brnw.ch/21x3o2N

KidneyPod is here! Surgeons from across the globe are stopping by the World Transplant Congress Booth 200 to see the KidneyPod up close. The interest, questions, and ideas have been incredible. Thank you for the early energy at #WTC2025. #TransplantSurgery

Another great interview from Booth #821 at #WTC2025! We’re joined by Keith Hansen of @DiatiroHealth to discuss innovation in transplant technology and how the Kidney Pod is helping preserve donor organs in the moments that matter most. Stop by to meet the team, explore our case studies, and test your skills with our life-sized Operation game! Diatiro is here at WTC, booth # 200. diatirohealth.com/home #OrganDonation #KidneyHealth #WTC2025 #Nephrology #KidneyPod

At Diatiro we asked: What if we could protect the organ until the last stitch? We’ll share our answer in August at World Transplant Congress. Stay tuned. KidneyPod™ has received Breakthrough Device Designation. It has not been cleared by the FDA for commercial use. #wtc2025

103,223 waiting. 17 people lost—every day. 11,849 kidneys unused last year. 1 in 4 grafts are discarded before surgery. 1 in 3 stall after surgery. Not from a mismatch. Not from shortages alone. From warming injury during the final minutes of implantation.
