    Postoperative renal dysfunction is a significant concern following complex abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR), often overlooked by surgeons.

  • 2

    Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in 21.2% of patients after complex AWR, highlighting the need for better perioperative fluid management.

  • 3

    Postoperative AKI is associated with new-onset chronic kidney disease (CKD) in 6.9% of patients and CKD progression in 19.6%.

  • 4

    Complex AWR alters intra-abdominal pressure dynamics, potentially leading to reduced renal perfusion and increased risk of kidney injury.

  • 5

    The physiological stress imposed by complex AWR necessitates careful monitoring of renal function as a marker of overall patient status.
