Abstract

Worldwide, increasingly complex surgery is being performed laparoscopically; thus, laparoscopic complication rates may be increasing. Reported risks from all complications of laparoscopic surgery are between 1 and 12.5/1000 cases and serious complications in 1/1000 cases. Accurate complication rates of surgery are difficult to obtain as most data are from retrospective studies and may be incomplete. This paper is a 10-year retrospective review of gynaecological laparoscopic complications from 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2012. Data sources are SEMAHELIX Hospital Database, Gynaecology Complications Register, Clinical Governance Records, Complaints and Legal Cases. Recorded complications were classified as diagnostic, sterilisations and therapeutic laparoscopies. Further classifications are as follows: major complications and type of injury (bowel, urological, vascular, other), minor complications and failed sterilisations. Twenty-nine complications were identified from 5128 laparoscopies; total complication rate is 5.7/1000 procedures. Major complication rates are as follows: diagnostic, 2.2/1000; sterilisations, 3.3/1000; and therapeutic, 3.1/1000, subcategorised into bowel 1.4/1000, urological 0.2/1000 and vascular 1.2/1000. Our total complication rate lies within published national rates. Compared to published standards of major complications, diagnostic laparoscopy and laparoscopic sterilisation rates were comparable. Conversely, our therapeutic laparoscopy complication rate was much lower. The highest complication rate was in the failed sterilisation group; however, this rate is within published sterilisation failure rates. Bowel and vascular complications were comparable; minor complication rates were low in all groups.
