Method: This randomized controlled single-blind study will conduct with 63 patients (study group = 31, control group = 32) who met the care inclusion criteria and underwent laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy in the transplantation service of a private hospital in Istanbul. The sample size and power of the study were calculated with power analysis (G\*Power 3.1). The data will obtain in the study will evaluate in a computer environment through the SPSS 22.0 statistical program. The data of the research will combine with the patient information formula, postoperative patient follow-up and evaluation formula, Visual Pain Scale (VAS), PCA and total demand and delivery of boluses and additional analgesic procedures.
