Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Enhanced recovery after surgeryExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
Preoperatively, patients will be counseled on optimization of physical and nutritional status. They will receive carbohydrate loading drinks prior to surgery. Intraoperatively, standard ASA monitors will be utilized, and patients will receive general anesthesia. Goal directed fluid management will be enforced with bolus options based on hemodynamics. Transabdominal plane and rectus sheath block will be performed in the operating room by the regional anesthesia team. Post-operatively pain management will include multimodal analgesic medications. Regular diet will be allowed and encouraged on post-operative day 0 (POD). Lines and drains will be minimized to encourage early mobilization and bowel function. Patients will be counseled on expectations of discharge criteria POD0.
Group II: Standard of careActive Control1 Intervention
Patients will receive traditional care for donor nephrectomy. Patients will be instructed to fast for 24 hours preoperative. On day of surgery, standard monitors will be used, and intraoperative management per anesthesiologists discretion including pain management. Post-operative, patients will receive pain medications, including opioids, as needed. Intravenous fluids will be continued until patients tolerate liquids per os.
