Preoperative evaluation in the era of laparoscopic surgery.
To confirm the importance of preoperative evaluation of a patient's health state, to reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality after laparoscopic surgery. A total number of 1,070 patients were selected into groups based on a type of intervention, gender, ASA and NYHA classification. The most common laparoscopic procedure that was performed was cholecystectomy in 920 (86%) patients. Cardiovascular disease had been presented in 952 (89%) patients, 1006 (94 %) of patients were ASA class I- III, while 1049 (98%) patients were NYHA class I and II. Frequency of lethal outcome was 0.1% due to postoperative thromboembolic complications. A lower mortality rate is a result of prescribed protocol and adequate preoperative examination.
