Core Tip	Postoperative sepsis occurs in 19.6% of patients undergoing laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair, with acute kidney injury (AKI) complicating 42.9% of septic cases. All in-hospital deaths occurred exclusively in the AKI subgroup, with stage 3 AKI carrying 80.0% mortality. American Society of Anesthesiologists class ≥ III, operative time > 180 minutes, and preoperative hypoalbuminemia independently predict sepsis. Combined Sequential Organ Failure Assessment and Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes staging achieves superior mortality discrimination (area under the curve 0.924). Early AKI recognition and preoperative nutritional optimization are critical for improving outcomes.
