Abstract

Background: In some regions like ours, the complications from abdominal surgery are important indicators of the quality of surgical care, particularly in general surgery. The objective of our work is to study the complications of abdominal surgery. Methods: This is a retrospective and descriptive study carried out in the general surgery Department of the Skyborn Hospital Center, over a period of 5 years, period from March 2016 to April 2021, with a total of 286 patients. Results: A total of 286 patients having participated in our study, we found that the male sex occupies 186 cases, the age group of the age group between 21 and 40 years occupies the first place, the cesarean with 42% was the first the surgical history, the surgical site infection and wound infection was the first postoperative complications with 64%. 91.6% of patients left the hospital without any particularity and 75.4% of patients received surgical treatment for the management of complications. Conclusion: The delay in the management or non-prevention of complications is an important factor in the occurrence of complications from abdominal surgery. Good postoperative management of the operative site and the surgical wound can prevent and avoid complications of abdominal surgery

Summary

Introduction

More and more patients undergo abdominal surgery during their lifetime, due to the advancement of surgical technology [1,2]. Despite the development of surgical and anesthetic techniques, and the perioperative management of patients, postoperative complications remain a major cause of postoperative complications [3]. Perioperative complications negatively affect the quality of life of patients and may delay or prevent further treatment. Identification of predictive factors of complications is critical for several reasons. All, it allows a precise strategy of risks to be taken and an adequate planning of perioperative management. In some regions like ours, the complications from abdominal surgery are important indicators of the quality of surgical care, in general surgery. The objective of our work is to study the complications of abdominal surgery
