Summary

This study tests whether an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol can lower the need for strong painkillers after a live donor kidney transplant. About 60 adult patients will follow a special plan that includes a pre-surgery drink, Tylenol, gabapentin, a numbing injection during surgery, and early walking. Researchers will compare their pain scores and narcotic use to past patients who did not use the ERAS plan.
