Background: Laparoscopic surgery in gynecology is a minimally invasive technique, which is not void of complications. Our objective was to assess the various complications which occur during gynecological laparoscopy and their associated risk factors at the Gonesse General Hospital (GGH).
Method: We carried out a cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection over a two year period from August 1, 2009 to July 31, 2011, at the maternity ward of the GGH. We included all the patients operated by laparoscopy during the study period. A complication was defined as any event that affected the normal course of the procedure and resulted in a rescue action like laparotomy or close surveillance. The proportions were calculated and compared using the Chi-square test. The statistically significant threshold was set at 0.05.
