Clinical Trial Summary

Kidney donors represent healthy patients and their anticipated postoperative course should be uncomplicated and brief. This study looks to optimize the perioperative pain regimen of laparoscopic donor nephrectomy patients by minimizing or eliminating narcotics from the immediate post-operative period. Current postoperative standard of care after donor nephrectomy require narcotic analgesics. While narcotics are potent pain medications, they are often associated with complications including nausea, vomiting and dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract causing prolonged complications. The investigators seek to evaluate a peri-operative pain regimen limiting the usage of narcotics. This incorporates a perioperative analgesic course utilizing combination of an intravenous non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), intravenous acetaminophen, and intravenous ketamine. All three have been demonstrated to be effective for the control of perioperative pain while decreasing narcotics use. Prior to surgery, participants will be consented and randomly assigned to receive the standard of care perioperative pain management using intravenous narcotics as a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) by itself plus placebo or along with the new protocol. The study will demonstrate it the new protocol will limit or eliminate the need for narcotics as a patient-controlled dose during the postoperative period. Upon discharge from the hospital, patients will be followed in clinic and via home questionnaires annually for 5 years to evaluate satisfaction, renal function and quality of life.
