Abstract

Background: surgery for gynecological cancer still represents a main line of therapy in almost all cases. Perioperative management can significantly decrease patient morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to: assess the outcomes of routine perioperative nursing care for women undergoing gynecologic cancer surgeries. Patients and methods: an observational research design was used in this study. A sample of 25 women was recruited randomly; who have undergone gynecological cancer surgeries at Woman’s Health Hospital, Assiut University from the start of January 2019 to the end of June 2019. Results: the postoperative complications represent 68.0% of women; the most common complications were the overall surgical site infection which represented about 64.0%. Conclusions: The routine perioperative nursing care for gynecologic surgery is not sufficient to improve patient outcomes and prevent postoperative complications. Recommendations: applying high-level evidence-based, preoperative assessment and intervention is required to reduce patient’s morbidity after gynecologic cancer surgeries.
