ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Aim: To estimate the frequency of complications during laparoscopic gynecologic surgery for benign diseases in women and identify associated risk factors in Ukraine.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and Methods: A multicenter, prospective cohort study was performed in gynecological departments from 10 regional hospitals of Ukraine between January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022. The study included gynecologic laparoscopies for benign diseases in women performed at these hospitals. To identify risk factors and variables associated with complications, crude and adjusted odds ratios were calculated with unconditional logistic regression. Surveillance was performed during 30 days after gynecological laparoscopy procedures.
RESULTS: Results: A total of 14,440 laparoscopic surgeries were performed, 2,340 (16.2%) complications cases were observed. Of all complication’s cases, 74.9% were detected after hospital discharge. The overall frequency of major complications was 5.04%, and that of minor complications was 11.2%. The most frequently reported complications types were serious bleeding complications (20.6%), intestinal perforation (17.9%), mild anemia (16.7%), severe anemia (transfusion) (16.1%), failed laparoscopy (9.3%), minor bleeding complications (8.3%), postoperative hematoma (6.7%), urinary tract infection (5.6%), and fever (5.0%). The level of technical difficulty and existence of prior abdominal surgery, and obesity were associated with a higher risk of complications associated with gynecological laparoscopy procedures.
CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Results this study suggest a high frequency of complications associated laparoscopic gynecologic surgery in Ukraine. Greater technical difficulty and prior surgery were factors associated with a higher frequency of complications.
