Abstract

Introduction: Cesarean section is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in obstetrics and is certainly one of the oldest operations in surgery. The aim of this work was to analyze the post-cesarean surgical complications collected in our department. Methods: This was a retrospective study covering a period of five years (January 2016 to December 2020) on a consecutive series of individual records of patients referred and managed for a post-Cesarean surgical complications in the general surgery department of the Ignace Deen National Hospital of Conakry. Cases of complications occurring within 30 days after cesarean section were included in this study. Results: We collected 149 cases of early surgical complications after cesarean section. The mean age of the patients was 29.25±03 years. The majority of the patients were women from poor social backgrounds (74,50%). Peritonitis (51.01%), intestinal obstruction (19.46%) and surgical site infection (16.78%) were the most noted complications. In the management of these complications, relaparotomy was necessary in 79.19% of cases. The overall mortality rate was 14.09%. Conclusion: The reinforcement of prenatal consultation, the continuous training of health care personnel, and the improvement of the technical facilities of our hospitals are desired to reduce these complications.
