What does this research mean for the field?

Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy provides superior clinical benefits, including reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster functional recovery compared to open donor nephrectomy, despite requiring a longer operative time. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Implication

Randomized trial compares surgical outcomes and quality of life in kidney donors, suggesting laparoscopic approach benefits recovery.

Key Points

This trial compares the quality of life and surgical outcomes between laparoscopic and open donor nephrectomy techniques.
Open-label randomized clinical trial conducted at Imam Khomeini Hospital in Iran from 2022 to 2023.
Ninety-one kidney donors were randomly assigned to either laparoscopic (n=45) or open nephrectomy (n=46).
Outcomes analyzed included hemoglobin changes, renal function, hospitalization length, operation time, and quality of life using SF-36.
LDN had a longer surgery duration (3.13 hours) compared to ODN (2.30 hours; P < .001).
ODN group had a greater hemoglobin reduction (-1.59 vs. -1.04; P = .004) and longer hospitalization duration (4.06 vs. 3.31 days; P < .001).
A higher percentage of LDN patients returned to normal activities within one month (84.1% vs. 54.5%; P = .004).
