Table 1

Demographics and preoperative characteristics of 200 patients at a single institution, including 100 kidney donors undergoing laparoscopic donor nephrectomy as well as their 100 recipients. Patients were stratified by donor tobacco history into those with a history of tobacco use (SD) and a control group with no history of tobacco use (ND).
