Complications in abdominal surgery: Assessment, prediction and prevention

Comparison of Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) and comprehensive complication index (CCI) systems for grading of surgical complications in patients with gastroduodenal perforations-a prospective study.

Objective Gastro-duodenal perforation is a life-threatening surgical emergency associated with high morbidity and mortality, particularly in low- and middle-income countries due to delayed presentation and sepsis. Accurate assessment of postoperative complications is essential for predicting outcomes. While the Clavien...

AI-based disease severity grading predicts complications in laparoscopic appendectomy

Appendicitis severity underpins contemporary management guidelines, where laparoscopic appendectomy remains gold standard. Preoperative measures poorly predict actual disease severity or complication risk, while operative grading systems such as the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) remains largely...

Perceptions of surgical complication severity among patients: a comparison with the accordion severity grading system in Makkah Region, Saudi Arabia

Objective: This study aimed to measure participants’ view regarding the severity of post-operative surgical complications and to assess if factors like their age, sex, or past surgical experiences shape those opinions. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an adapted, validated online questionnaire on...

Comparison of two postoperative complication grading systems following an elective orthopedic procedure in dogs

The hypothesis that the Cook and aCD grading systems would yield comparable postoperative complication rates was rejected, and a grading system with greater categorical resolution that distinguishes true complications from expected outcomes may provide a more clinically relevant assessment of postoperative risk.

Predictive Performance of ADRENAL and MAP Scores for Complications in Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy.

Background The ADRENAL and Mayo Adhesive Probability scores are preoperative composite tools designed to estimate surgical complexity in adrenal surgery. This study aimed to compare their predictive performance for postoperative complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Methods We retrospective...
