Abstract: This study investigates the incidence, causes, and preventive measures for postoperative complications in obstetrics and gynecological surgeries. Conducted at SMS Medical College, Jaipur, over six months, the research identifies that approximately 10% of patients develop surgical site complications, with a higher prevalence in emergency procedures. The study emphasizes the need for preoperative correction of anemia, glycemic control, and hypertension, along with the use of Monocryl sutures, to reduce complications. The findings highlight the importance of comprehensive preoperative assessments and behavioural modifications to improve surgical outcomes. This study is significant as it provides insights into the prevention of surgical site complications, a major concern in obstetrics and gynecology. By identifying key risk factors and effective preventive strategies, the study aims to enhance patient safety and reduce the incidence of postoperative infections.
