Resumo

113 major surgical procedures were carried out on 87 patients with irreversible renal failure and being maintained on haemodialysis. The commonest postoperative complication was hyperkalaemia (43), followed by shunt clotting (23), respiratory complications (20), hypotension (14), hypertension (3), haemorrhage (8), infections (6), deep vein thrombosis (1) and wound dehiscence (1). The operative mortality was 3.5 %. The time of pre-operative dialysis appears to have a relationship to the postoperative complications.
