Complications associated with predictors were analyzed.RESULTS: The postoperative mortality rate was 16% (53/334). Up to 31% of patients were successfully treated with percutaneous catheter drainage alone. The rates of intra-abdominal bleeding, colonic fistula, and progressive infection were 15% (50/334), 20% (68/334), and 26% (87/334), respectively. Multivariate analysis indicated that Marshall score upon admission, multiple organ failure, preoperative respiratory infection, and sepsis were the predictors of postoperative progressive infection (P < 0.05). Single organ failure, systemic inflammatory response syndrome upon admission, and C-reactive protein level upon admission were the risk factors of postoperative colonic fistula (P < 0.05). Moreover, preoperative Marshall score, organ failure, sepsis, and preoperative systemic inflammatory response syndrome were the risk factors of postoperative intra-abdominal bleeding (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Marshall score, organ failures, preoperative respiratory infection, sepsis, preoperative systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and C-reactive protein level upon admission are associated with postoperative complications.展开更多

The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of common early post-operative complications after oral and maxillofacial surgery in relationship to the underlying systemic condition. A descriptive postoperative study was done whereby patients who underwent oral and maxillofacial surgery were included. The included patients were those who underwent surgery for different pathological conditions, trauma, developmental/congenital conditions and inflammatory conditions to mention few. Demographic data, complications developed within one week post operative, and underlying systemic comorbidities before and after surgery were documented and analysed. A total of 102 patients were included in the study. The mean age of participants was 30.00 ± 17.01 years with a range of 2 to 81 years. Majority 43.1% (n = 44) had benign tumors with a leading diagnosis of ameloblastoma. In general, the most common complications which were noted in the cases included Pain 98% (n = 100) and Post-operative Swelling 97.1% (n = 99). The presence of underlying systemic comorbid conditions has a significant role in occurrence of some severe complications. The occurrence of complications does increase the duration of stay in the hospital hence increasing cost of treatment for which bearers are both patients and the hospital.展开更多

A meta-analysis with a random-effects model was used to calculate pooled odds ratios(OR) and confidence intervals(CI) for each outcome measure of interest. RESULTS: A total of 14 studies were included for metaanalysis, comprising a total of 5425 patients with CD 1024(biological treatment, 4401 control group). After biological therapy there was an increased risk of total infectious complications(OR = 1.52; 95%CI: 1.14-2.03, 8 studies) and wound infection(OR = 1.73; 95%CI: 1.12-2.67; P = 0.01, 7 studies). There was no increased risk for other complications including anastomotic leak(OR = 1.19; 95%CI: 0.82-1.71; P = 0.26), abdominal sepsis(OR = 1.22; 95%CI: 0.87-1.72; P = 0.25) and re-operation(OR = 1.12; 95%CI: 0.81-1.54; P = 0.46) in patients receiving biological therapy. CONCLUSION: Pre-operative use of anti-TNF-α therapy may increase risk of post-operative infectious complications after surgery for CD and in particular wound related infections.展开更多

Objective: To report the surgical complications of renal transplantation and the therapeutic means applied. Method: It was a retrospective study including 42 files of kidney transplantation in Côte d’Ivoire. We report 11 cases of surgical complications of the recipient’s intervention during the first five years. Results: The mean age was 42.64 years (±15.04). In 90.9% of the cases, there was a comorbidity factor. Lymphocele and stenosis of the uretero vesical anastomosis were the most frequent complications. One death was observed. Conclusion: Kidney transplantation is an effective way of managing chronic renal failure. Postoperative complications are polymorphic and unpredictable.展开更多

Objectives: To determine the rate of per and post-operative complications, to describe the types of complications and to identify their risk factors. Methodology: This was a prospective study carried out from 04 April to 03 June 2016 in the surgical department of CHU-Gabriel TOURE. All patients aged 18 and over operated in the Surgical Department (General Surgery, Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Urology, Traumatology, Otolaryngology, Neurosurgery and Emergency Department), having been hospitalized at least for 24 hours after surgery, were retained. The method of sampling N=P(1-P)Za2/I2 was used;the minimum size necessary was 209 patients. We conducted invitations and the phone call to determine the occurrence of complications and survival of patients up to 30 days after surgery. Results: We counted 262 patients, of whom 142 (54.2%) were women and 120 (45.8%) were men with a sex ratio = 0.85. The average age was 41.48 years, with extremes of 18 and 86 years. We found 71 complications in 61 patients, an early CPPO rate of 23.28%. The various complications encountered were: urinary tract infections (26.76%), surgical site infections (28.17%), pulmonary infections (12.68%) and Deaths (21.13%). The occurrence of complications prolonged the hospital stay by 6 days and increased the average cost of care of 102,700 FCFA. According to Clavien Dindo’s classification, the severe postoperative complication in our series was 9.16% (grade III + IV + V). Factors favoring the occurrence of CPPO were age > 41 years old, ASA > II, the classes of Altemeier 3 and 4, NNISS score 1 and 2, diabetes and hemoglobin rate 8 g/dl. Conclusion: Complications per and post-operative (CPPO) are common in the department of Surgery of CHU-Gabriel TOURE and are dominated by post-operative infection. These complications seem to be favored by multiple factors more related to the patients than to the hospital structure.展开更多

We examined the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea and its impact on post-operative complications in 125 patients (21 prospective, 104 retrospective) undergoing various elective outpatient surgeries at our institution. Ten percent of these patients had OSA, and half of them were on continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP). Patients who were on CPAP as outpatients received CPAP post-operatively as well. No patients died, and the prevalence of post-operative complications was low. There was no difference in complication rates between patients with and without OSA. We also review the existing literature on this subject and make practical recommendations regarding pre-operative evaluation and post-operative management of these patients for practicing internists and surgeons based on the current literature.展开更多

During this period, 178 cases were operated. Snodgrass and Bracka’s techniques were the most used techniques. Complications were noted in 16 out of 82 patients operated using Snodgrass technique and 2 out 10 patients operated via Bracka’s technique. This study helped in shifting the practice towards the technique associated with the lowest complications. As a result we adopted for our practice MAGPI for glandular hypospadias, Snodgrass for any type of hypospadias without chordee and Bracka’s two stages repair for hypospadias with chordee.展开更多

However, anaesthesiologists must maintain vigilance in order to detect rare, but potentially lifethreatening haemorrhagic complications of these procedures which may present intra-operatively or in the immediate post-operative period. We present two cases of life-threatening haemorrhagic complications of spine surgery, one from T12 kyphoplasty and the other from a redo lumbar laminectomy and fusion. In both cases, prompt recognition of vascular injuries with internal or covert bleeding which presented shortly after surgery allowed timely and life-saving treatment.展开更多
