The vascular surgery team supports its renal team colleagues with the creation of arteriovenous fistulas (and other access) to enable patients with renal failure to haemodialyse. Patients from Hertfordshire, South Bedfordshire and West Essex all undergo renal access surgery at the Lister, where there is the support of a 24/7 renal on-call team enabling any dialysis requirements to be met. Both elective and emergency renal access surgery is available at the Lister.
