Summary
Introduction:
The aim of the work was to evaluate the implementation of Clavien – Dindo classification of surgical complications into a routine clinical praxis and to evaluate the results achieved at the university department of surgery.
Material and methods:
Prospectively collected data of patients hospitalized at the Clinic of Surgery of the University Hospital in Hradec Králové between January 2010 and September 2012 were retrospectively evaluated. Incidence, spectrum and severity of postoperative complications were evaluated according to individual surgical specializations.
Results:
9039 patients were operated and enrolled into the database during the time period from January 2010 to October 2012. A surgical complication was recorded in 1248 (12.9%) patiens, grade I. in 284 (3.4%) cases, grade II. in 384 (4.3%) cases, grade III in 370 (4.1%) cases, grade IV. in 67 (0.7%) patients. Death,i.e. grade V., occurred in 143 (1.43%) patients.
Conclusion:
Clavien – Dindo classification of surgical complications was successfully implemented into a routine clinical praxis at the department of surgery, University Hospital Hradec Králové. Wider use of this classification system would improve conditions for evaluation and comparison of results between different surgical approaches, surgeons or departments.
Key words:
mortality – morbidity – complication – analysis
