[The effects of preoperative anxiety on anesthetic recovery and postoperative pain in patients undergoing donor nephrectomy].

CONCLUSION: Our study showed that patients undergoing living-related donor nephrectomy with high anxiety levels had late recovery times and high postoperative pain scores. Thus, determining those patients with high preoperative anxiety level is crucial to providing patients with satisfactory emerging from anesthesia and the control of their postoperative pain during donor nephrectomy.
