Abstract
Introduction: This investigation’s purpose was to determine the incidence of acute kidney injury, the associated risk factors, and the 90-day outcomes and kidney function of geriatric patients who underwent major open abdominal gynecologic oncologic surgery. Materials and Method: This retrospective cohort study involved patients aged ≥ 65 years who underwent major open abdominal gynecologic oncologic surgery. Results: The postoperative incidence of acute kidney injury in gynecologic oncologic surgical procedures was 22.1%, with a transient nature observed in 72% of patients. The in-hospital mortality rate was 4 %. Kidney function on the 90th day after acute kidney injury development revealed that estimated glomerular filtration rate regressed by over 25% in 6 patients (24%). Acute kidney injury development was associated with surgical time, intraoperative bleeding volume, bowel procedures, the presence of ascites, intraoperative hypotension, vasopressor use, postoperative diuretic use, postoperative hypoalbuminemia, prolonged post-anesthesia care unit, and hospital stay (p < 0.05). A logistic regression analysis of the risk factors for acute kidney injury revealed that surgery duration was a significant one (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Postoperative acute kidney injury is an important postoperative complication associated with the development or progression of chronic kidney disease. This leads to a prolonged stay in the post-anesthesia care unit and in the hospital. Although acute kidney injury is frequently transient in geriatric patients following major open abdominal gynecologic oncologic surgery, developing preventive measures, encouraging team collaboration, and monitoring serum creatinine concentration in the early postoperative period are critical in complex surgical procedures.
