Abstract:
Objective To determine the clinical characteristics and causes of unplanned return to surgery in a stomatological hospital.
Methods All 136 patients undergoing unplanned return to operating room from January 2012 to December 2014 were reviewed to analyze the clinical characteristics and causes.
Results There were 8135 cases undergoing surgery and the rate of unplanned return to surgery was 1.67%. The patients undergoing return to surgery comprised 95 men and 41 women (the male∶female ratio of 2.32∶1) . The mean age was 52.4 years. Among the common causes of unplanned return to operating room, the proportion of vascular crisis, postoperative bleeding and diagnostic issues were 32.35%, 30.15% and 29.41% respectively.
Conclusions The main causes of unplanned return to surgery in the stomatological hospital were flap vascular crisis, postoperative bleeding and diagnostic issues. Improving perioperative management and diagnostic capability could reduce the incidence of unplanned return to surgery.
