Cross sectional study evaluates graft function and recovery in kidney donors, suggesting laparoscopic method has benefits.

Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy showed less discomfort and faster recovery than open surgery.
Warm ischemia duration was significantly longer in laparoscopic nephrectomy (9.43 minutes) compared to open surgery (4.04 minutes).
No major difference in graft function was observed between laparoscopic and open donor nephrectomy.
A total of 22 donors were analyzed in each group during the study period from May 2023 to April 2024.
