      abstract = {Little research has been conducted to determine the impact  of preoperative carbohydrate loading on length of hospital  stay (LOS) and postoperative recovery in living kidney  donors undergoing laparoscopic nephrectomy. To answer this  question, we performed a retrospective chart review of  electronic medical record data from subjects who previously  underwent laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy at Oregon  Health & Science University (OHSU). Our study population  included 55 adult subjects who received preoperative  carbohydrate loading and 93 adult historical control  subjects who did not receive preoperative carbohydrate  loading. Clinical outcomes, including LOS, length of time  required to return to regular oral food and fluid intake,  and incidence of postoperative gastrointestinal  complications were assessed and compared between the two  groups.},
