RECARI, E.; OROZ, L.C.  and  LARA, J.A.. Complications of gynaecological surgery. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2009, vol.32, suppl.1, pp.65-79. ISSN 1137-6627.

Gynaecological surgery is undergoing a process of constant change and therefore some of its complications as well. The incorporation of endoscopy has added a new dimension, with the rate of complications related to its complexity. Endoscopy has meant a great advance in surgery, and specifically in gynaecology, which benefits from two ways of approaching the genital apparatus: laparoscopy and histeroscopy. These techniques involve risks that are specific to these techniques: the induction of pneumoperitoneum, insertion of trocar, remote coagulation, vascular passage of the glycine employed in uterine relaxation during hysteroscopy, etc.... When a patient comes to Accidents and Emergencies in the postoperative phase, or simply suffers a complication during the 24 or 48 hours that they are hospitalised, the doctor who attends her must be acquainted with this course of approach and its possible complications.

Keywords : Gynaecological surgeries; Complications; Laparoscopy; Histeroscopy; Minimally invasive approach.
