Postoperative death in paediatric urology.

D I Williams, H B Eckstein

    Progress in Pediatric Surgery
    |January 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Paediatric urology surgery has a very low operative mortality rate, with only 4 deaths directly linked to procedures in a 25-year study. Modern management could prevent most past fatalities, suggesting surgical deaths in paediatric urology are avoidable.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Urology
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Assessing operative mortality in pediatric urology is crucial for patient safety.
    • A 25-year experience provides a substantial dataset for evaluating surgical risks.

    Observation:

    • Only 4 fatalities were directly attributed to surgical procedures in pediatric urology over 25 years.
    • Two additional deaths were reviewed, with retrospective analysis suggesting they were preventable with current management standards.

    Findings:

    • The study indicates a low incidence of direct operative mortality in pediatric urology.
    • Most identified fatalities could have been avoided using contemporary medical and surgical practices.

    Implications:
