ABSTRACT
Introduction: Surgery, as a medical science, faced big challenges to become a form of a safe, feasible surgical treatment; among them, one of the biggest was avoiding adverse outcomes. The authors carried out an analysis of the patients readmitted in the service of General Surgery of the University Hospital “Faustino Perez Hernandez” of Matanzas due to complicated post-surgery evolution in the period from January 2016 to December 2018. Objective: to determine the causes of readmissions due to complicated post-surgery evolution in the service of General Surgery of the University “Hospital Faustino Perez Hernandez”. Materials and methods: a prospective, descriptive, observational study was carried out on a universe of all patients readmitted in the service of General Surgery due to complicated post-surgery evolution. The authors analyzed several variables that could be related to readmissions and were obtained from a data collection form and processed with the computer program Microsoft Office 2009. Results: the main results were that among readmitted patients, the highest percent were male, white and elder than 60 years old. Readmissions due to post-surgery complications represent a low percent with respect to the quantity of patients who underwent surgery, and the main cause of readmission was infection at the surgery site. From the analyzed variables the once related the most with readmissions were conventional surgeries, patients looked after in open wards, with contaminated clean operations. Conclusions: six from each ten patients were male, white, and aged more than 60 years.REFERENCES
