Why the study?
No studies had evaluated the usefulness of a comprehensive perioperative point-of-care ultrasonography assessment in patients undergoing major laparoscopic surgery to predict postoperative acute kidney injury.

Supports feasibility of perioperative renal POCUS Doppler; leaves open whether it guides management or improves outcomes.
Does combined venous and arterial renal flow evaluation using POCUS predict postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing major laparoscopic urologic surgery?
Perioperative renal ultrasonography assessing arterial and venous Doppler patterns can predict postoperative AKI and complications after major laparoscopic urologic surgery.
