Morbidity of 200 Consecutive Cases of Hand-Assisted Laparoscopic Living Donor Nephrectomies: A Single-Center Experience

Table 1

Donor demographic characteristics/recipient demographic characteristics. *Refers to chi-square 𝑃 values. All 𝑃 values fit the classical assumption of at least 5 values per cell. **Refers to 𝑃 values based upon the Mann-Whitney test, as the data did not fit into normal distributions following the use of transformations. ***Refers to Fisher’s exact 𝑃 values. Unless otherwise specified, 𝑃 values refer to results from an independent samples 𝑡-test.
