  ABSTRACT: The study aimed to identify factors causing delays in scheduled gynaeco-obstetric surgeries at CHUMEFJE in Libreville from January 2019 to July 2020. Through a 16-month observational survey, it was found that out of 346 scheduled procedures, 128 (36.4%) were postponed. Organizational issues in the operating theatre were responsible for 80.3% of these delays, with 95.3% being preventable. To enhance efficiency, improvements in operating theatre organization are recommended.
