Aim: to identify post-operative complications in patients undergoingsurgical procedures in a hospital of medium complexity, the difficulties experienced in self-care during the post-operative period and the guidance provided in the discharge process. Method: a descriptive study, quantitative prospective undertaken in patientswho underwent surgical treatment in a hospital of Paraná. Results:in a total of 110 patients, 70 (64%) participated, and of these, 57 (87%) had some type of complication and 67 (95%) said they had received instructions for discharge. Al though 38 (54%) inquiries did not have doubts about self-care, 26 (37%) reported doubts about changing the dressing and 6 (9%) about the correct use of medication.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of early postoperative complications in patients undergoing surgical treatment for meningomyelocele. Study Design: Descriptive study Place & Duration: Department of Neurosurgery, Saidu Teaching Hospital, Saidu Sharif, Swat for duration of three years from November 2017 to October 2020. Methods: Total one hundred and thirty six patients of both genders presented with meningomycele were included in this study. Patients’ ages were ranging from 5 to 120 days. All the patients were undergoing surgical treatment for meningomyelocele. Early post-operative complications were recorded after surgery Results: There were 76 (55.88%) males and 60 (44.12%) females. Forty (29.41%) patients were ages <1 month, 59 (43.38%) patients were ages 1 to 2 months 37 (27.21%) were ages above 2 months. Majority of patients 70 (51.47%) had defect size <5 cm. Post-operative complications such as surgical site infection, pyrexia, hydrocephalus and cerebrospinal fluid leakage in 20 (14.71%), 115 (84.56%, 29 (21.32%) and 33 (24.26%) patients respectively. Conclusion: Early and accurate diagnosis and better management may reduce the complications rate Keywords: Prevalence, Complications, Meningomvelocele

Post Operative Complications

Surgical patients are at risk of post-operative complications. A thorough pre-operative assessment and the implementation of appropriate care/treatment plans will reduce the likelihood of complications occurring. The surgical nurse should have a good knowledge and understanding of recognizing, preventing, and treating post-operative complications. The ABCDE approach should be used in the immediate post-operative period and if the patient becomes acutely unwell. This chapter uses body systems and the ABCDE approach to review post-operative complications.

Background: Hypomagnesemia is an important but unknown risk factor for post-operative complications in patients undergoing surgery for presumed gynecological malignancy. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of hypomagnesemia in patients undergoing surgery for presumed gynecological cancers referred to our tertiary care Cancer Institute.Methods: This is a prospective observational study of 100 patients admitted with provisional diagnosis of malignancy. They underwent surgery in one of the Gynecologic Oncology units at The Gujarat Cancer Research Institute, Ahmedabad from October 2016 to April 2017. Hypomagnesemia was defined a serum magnesium levels less than 1.8mg/dl.Results: The incidence of pre-operative hypomagnesemia in the entire cohort was 35%. Sixty three percent patients had normal pre-operative magnesium levels and hypermagnesemia was seen in 2% of study population. Patients with benign disease had 29.6% pre-operative hypomagnesemia compared with 39.6% in patients with gynecologic malignancy. Pre-operative hypomagnesemia and even falling levels in post-operative period are an important predictive marker for post-operative complications like increased post-operative pain, post-operative ileus, hypertension and even post-operative hypokalemia. Age, body mass index, hematocrit, surgical indication and length of hospital stay were not associated with hypomagnesemia. Patients undergoing neo-adjuvant chemotherapy before surgery had significant incidence of hypomagnesemia both pre-operatively and post-operatively.Conclusions: Hypomagnesemia is quite prevalent in patients of gynecologic-oncology undergoing surgery. Pre-operative hypomagnesemia and even falling levels in post-operative period have a bearing on the final surgical outcome. Hence pre-operative and post-operative magnesium levels may be included as a valuable marker in all patients undergoing surgery for gynecologic malignancy.

Background: Haemorrhoids are the most common benign anorectal problems worldwide. Treatments of third and fourth degree hemorrhoids include surgical haemorrhoidectomy. Milligan Morgan haemorrhoidectomy (MMH) as described in 1937 has remained the most popular among many techniques proposed. In order to avoid the postoperative drawbacks of Milligan Morgan haemorrhoidectomy, a new surgical treatment for prolapsing haemorrhoids has been described by Longo in 1995, procedure called stapled haemorrhoidopexy which is associated with less postoperative pain and a quicker recovery. The objective of this study was to compare the short-term outcome between stapled hemorrhoidopexy and Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy.Methods: Prospective randomized study of 120 patients with grade 3 and grade 4 haemorrhoids requiring surgical treatment either MMH or SH, 60 in each group for the period of 18 months from June 2014 to November 2015. Post-operative pain, duration of surgery, duration of hospital stays, post-operative complications and time taken to return to work were compared with mean follow up period of 6 months.Results: Duration of surgery is significantly low in stapled group with P <0.001, duration of hospital stay is significantly low in stapled group with P <0.001, post-operative pain low in staple group with P <0.05, time taken to return to work is significantly early in stapled group with P <0.001. Post-operative complications incontinence not found in the present study but recurrence of two cases in each group noted.Conclusion: Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is associated with less postoperative pain, shorter duration of surgery and hospital stay, earlier return to work as compared with Milligan-Morgan open hemorrhoidectomy. The procedure is not associated with major post-operative complications.
