Prospective study compares renal outcomes in donors after open and laparoscopic nephrectomy, suggesting implications for surgical technique choice.

Both open and laparoscopic nephrectomy lead to significant decreases in renal function, but no differences in GFR post-surgery.
The mean duration of open nephrectomy is significantly shorter than that of laparoscopic nephrectomy by almost one hour.
Length of hospital stay is notably shorter for laparoscopic nephrectomy at an average of 3.31 days compared to open at 4.06 days.
Surgical complications were observed in 5.5% of cases, indicating manageable risks associated with each surgical approach.

Farshid et al. (2025) studied this question.
