| Abstrakt: | Background and objective Surgical complications can arise either intraoperatively or postoperatively. The factors that lead to complications in gynaecological surgeries could be both patient-related or surgeon-related. In this study, we aimed to identify the frequency of intraoperative and postoperative complications in gynaecological surgeries conducted at our institution and to evaluate various risk factors that may predispose patients to these complications. Materials and methods This was a retrospective analysis of women undergoing gynaecological surgeries in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at a tertiary centre in Uttarakhand, India from February 2016 to December 2019. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and perioperative complications of these women were recorded. Results A total of 389 women undergoing gynaecological surgeries were included in the study cohort. Of note, 94 of these had perioperative complications, accounting for 24.16% of the total cases. The most common route of surgery associated with complications was open abdominal surgery (34.66%). The operating time in most surgeries ranged from two to three hours (48.93%), and the average duration of hospital stay after surgery was 10.79 + 7.91 days. Intraoperative and postoperative complication rates were 5.91% and 19.28% respectively. Of these, surgical site infections (SSIs) (10.28%) and fever (5.39%) were the most common complications observed. Independent parameters like age, parity, route of surgery, operative time, preoperative duration of hospital stay, and preoperative blood transfusion were significantly associated with perioperative complications. Conclusions Surgical complications were more frequently seen in abdominal cases compared to other routes. Knowledge of centre-specific surgical outcome data can help in providing patients with better preoperative counselling.
