Diagnosis and treatment of complications in abdominal surgery
Diagnóstico y tratamiento de complicaciones en cirugía abdominal
Resumen:
Every surgeon should know that intra- and postoperative complications are inherent to any surgical act.and therefore inevitable. Despite this, its efforts will be permanently directed to the development of strategies andinitiatives that seek to reduce its incidence as much as possible.Without a doubt, it constitutes a topic of great interest, both for surgeons and health institutions. Besides, hisapproach can be done from various perspectives. This is because the surgical complication has an impactthat goes far beyond the patient, the center of our attention and to whom we owe ourselves with total dedication, alsocalled the “first victim.”The surgeon and his team are without a doubt the “second victim.” They carry much of the weight after what happened,They are questioned and even they themselves come to question their suitability, their skill and/or their professionalism. They sufferpsychological consequences that affect their closest environment, their family ties and also impact theirwork performance, which may also compromise the safety of other patients. This point will be specifically addressed in chapter 3.Finally, there is a “third victim”, the health institution, which cannot be ignored and must guarantee resources andefforts to ensure adequate support and containment for its personnel, so necessary in these cases, although frequently ignored. They will be a key actor, looking after their human capital, also contributing to the development of aresilient attitude, committed to patient safety and satisfaction.The surgeon must learn to live with complications, knowing that they can always occur, even in difficult situations.more unexpected, in seemingly simple cases, even when you feel that you already have enough experience, beingthe latter a fundamental ally when facing them.The appearance of complications and mortality in surgery is subject to many variables. Some are specific to the patient (age, comorbidities), others are related to the pathology being treated (benign, malignant, complicated or not), thecomplexity and duration of the procedure to be carried out, as well as the circumstances in which it is carried out (emergency, urgency, elective). These factors will be analyzed in detail in each of the chapters that make up thisReport, in relation to the different surgical procedures that will be discussed.
Todo cirujano debe saber que las complicaciones intra y postoperatorias son inherentes a cualquier acto quirúrgicoy por lo tanto inevitables. Pese a ello, sus esfuerzos estarán permanentemente dirigidos al desarrollo de estrategias einiciativas que busquen reducir al máximo su incidencia.Sin dudas constituye un tema de gran interés, tanto para los cirujanos como las instituciones sanitarias. Además, suenfoque puede hacerse desde diversas perspectivas. Esto se debe a que la complicación quirúrgica tiene un impactoque va mucho más allá del paciente, centro de nuestra atención y al que nos debemos con total dedicación, tambiéndenominado la “primera víctima”.El cirujano y su equipo son sin lugar a duda la “segunda víctima”. Cargan con gran parte del peso tras lo sucedido,se les cuestiona e incluso ellos mismos llegan a cuestionarse su idoneidad, su destreza y/o su profesionalismo. Sufrenconsecuencias psicológicas que afectan a su entorno más cercano, sus vínculos familiares y repercuten también en sudesempeño laboral, pudiendo comprometer además la seguridad de otros pacientes. Este punto se abordará específicamente en el capítulo 3Finalmente existe una “tercera víctima”, la institución sanitaria, que no puede ser omisa y debe garantizar recursos yesfuerzos para asegurar un soporte y contención adecuados a su personal, tan necesario en estos casos, aunque frecuentemente desestimado. Serán un actor clave, velando por su capital humano, contribuyendo además al desarrollo de unaactitud resiliente, comprometida con la seguridad y satisfacción del paciente.El cirujano debe aprender a convivir con las complicaciones, saber que siempre pueden ocurrir, aún en las situacionesmás inesperadas, en casos aparentemente sencillos, incluso cuando sienta que ya tiene suficiente experiencia, siendoesta última un aliado fundamental al momento de enfrentarlas.La aparición de complicaciones y mortalidad en cirugía está sujeta a muchas variables. Algunas son propias del paciente (edad, comorbilidades), otras de la propia patología a la que se asiste (benigna, maligna, complicada o no), de lacomplejidad y duración del procedimiento a realizarse, así como de las circunstancias en las que se lleva a cabo (emergencia, urgencia, electiva). Estos factores se analizarán detalladamente en cada uno de los capítulos que componen esteRelato, en relación con los distintos procedimientos quirúrgicos que se tratarán.
