Abstract

Background: The prevalence of patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring general surgical procedures is increasing. Our aim was to explore the effect of ESRD on patients undergoing elective laparoscopic ventral hernia repair.

Methods: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (2010-2015) database was used to identify patients who underwent elective laparoscopic ventral hernia repair. Multivariable analysis was performed adjusting for risk variables including age, gender, race, comorbidity status, body mass index ≥ 35, and presence of ESRD.

Results: A total of 8,789 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic ventral hernia repair were identified. Sixty-four patients (0.73%) had ESRD. ESRD was identified as an independent risk factor for postoperative pneumonia (odds ration [OR] 6.91, p = 0.00363), sepsis (OR 18.58, p = 0.000286), and length of stay (IRR 1.63, 95% confidence interval 1.19 - 2.27, p = 0.0036).

Conclusions: ESRD patients undergoing elective laparoscopic ventral hernia repair had an increased risk of postoperative pneumonia, sepsis, and length of stay. Clinicians should be cognizant of these risks when performing elective operations on ESRD patients.
