ABSTRACT: Objective: The
objective of our study was to study the surgical activities carried out in the gynecology-obstetrics department
of the CHU-YO (Teaching Hospital Yalgado Ouédraogo) from January 1st 2015 to December 31st, 2015. Patients and Methods: This dealt
with a cross-cutting descriptive and analytic study with retrospective data
collection. Our study has included the female patients who underwent surgery in
the operating room and whose medical records were usable. Results: 45%
of female patients admitted in the concerned department underwent a surgery.
The average age of patients was estimated at 28.02 years ±7 years with extremes
of 13 years and 80 years. Obstetrical surgery has involved 89.9% of cases.
Female patients have received a loco-regional anesthesia in 92.7% of cases.
Emergency surgical operations accounted for 88.8% and caesarean section was the
main surgical operation carried out in 87.1% of cases. The mortality rate of
the overall surgical operations was 1.04%. Conclusion: A better
availability of labile blood products is more likely to reduce the mortality
rate of surgical operations under the threshold of 1%.
