Abstract
Urological surgery is a complex and commonly performed medical procedure, but it carries inherent risks of postoperative complications. This cross-sectional analysis aimed to investigate the prevalence and identify risk factors associated with postoperative complications in a sample size of 200 patients who underwent various urological surgical procedures. Methods: Data were collected through a comprehensive review of medical records, preoperative assessments, and structured patient interviews. The sample size of 200 patients was selected based on rigorous inclusion criteria. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine the significance of potential risk factors contributing to postoperative complications. Results: The analysis revealed a prevalence rate of postoperative complications at 22% within the study population. Key risk factors included patient age, presence of comorbidities, and the specific surgical approach employed. Subgroup analysis further examined how different urological procedures affected complication rates. Conclusion: This cross-sectional analysis provides valuable insights into the prevalence and risk factors associated with postoperative complications in urological surgery. It highlights the necessity of a comprehensive approach to enhance patient outcomes. Future research efforts should prioritize prospective studies to validate these findings and further refine strategies aimed at reducing postoperative complications in urological surgery, ultimately improving.
