    Area of Science:

    • General Surgery
    • Abdominal Surgery
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Context:

    • Operations on peritoneal cavity organs were performed in 14,718 patients between 1987-1995.
    • A subset of 87 patients required reoperation, undergoing 93 relaparotomies.
    • High mortality rates associated with relaparotomy warrant further investigation.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the outcomes and mortality rates of relaparotomy in patients who underwent abdominal surgery.
    • To identify risk factors and complications associated with repeat laparotomies.
    • To evaluate the impact of relaparotomy on patient survival following peritoneal cavity operations.

    Summary:

    • A total of 14,718 patients underwent abdominal operations from 1987-1995.
    • 93 relaparotomies were performed on 87 reoperated patients.
    • Mortality after relaparotomy was high, with 36 (41.3%) deaths.

    Impact:

    • The findings underscore the significant morbidity and mortality associated with relaparotomy.
    • Highlights the need for careful patient selection and surgical planning for repeat abdominal procedures.
    • Suggests potential areas for improving post-operative care and reducing complications in reoperated patients.
