Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract: Exact figures which are needed for assessing surgical complications which are generally lacking leading to inaccurate assessment of morbidity and mortality in patients. In our study we prospectively collected and analyzed incidence and nature of complications associated with general surgery services at our Centre and formulated suitable measures needed for its prevention in future. Our study was a single observer prospective study and was done in all patients that were admitted and operated for any major and minor surgical procedure at our Centre in whom any sort of complications had occurred. . A total of 50 patients were included in our study over a period of 1 September 2017 to 31 marches 2018. In our study most common complications that occurred in patients is post-operative superficial surgical site infection that causes purulent discharge in 19(38%) patients followed by pulmonary complications, fatal complications in 1(2%) patient, life threatening complications in 4(8%) patients. Moderate and trivial complications accounted in 24(48%) and 21(42%) patients respectively. Hospitization and any sort of surgical procedure carries inbuilt risk to patients. Prevention of error is an important link between clinical quality improvement and risk management, including prevention of legal actions.
