[Complications of gynaecological surgery].
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.
