Abstract

Introduction: Obstetric complications are defined as the appearance of new pathological phenomena involving the digestive system following surgical procedures on the uterus carried out for preventive, diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. the aim of the study was to describe the surgical management of obstetric complications in the general surgery department of the Ignace Deen National Hospital, University Hospital Centre of Conakry. Material and methods: This was a 4-year retrospective descriptive study (January 2018 to December 2021) carried out in the general surgery department of the Ignace Deen National Hospital. All complete records of patients with one or more obstetric complications who received surgical management during the study period were included. Sociodemographic, clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary variables were studied. Results: Out of 1664 patient files, we recorded 105 cases of obstetric complications, i.e. a frequency of 6.31%. The mean age was 27.52 ± 5 years, with extremes of 16 and 45 years. Housewives were the most common (57.1%). The main obstetric complications were acute generalised post-caesarean peritonitis (34.3%) followed by acute intestinal obstruction (24.8%). Management consisted of excision-suturing of breaches, resection of flanges and peritoneal cleansing with drainage. Conclusion: Obstetric complications are fairly frequent in our practice and are dominated by peritonitis and intestinal obstruction. Early and multidisciplinary management can improve the vital prognosis.
