Pulmonary complications following urological, gastrointestinal and gynaecological abdominal Surgery––A post-hoc analysis of an observational study in 29 countries
In this worldwide cohort of patients undergoing abdominal surgery, the incidence of PPCs varied across urological, gastrointestinal, and gynaecological surgery; the differences in incidence may be more strongly influenced by patient-related factors and anaesthesia duration than by the characteristics of the surgical specialty itself. Gastrointestinal surgeries showed the highest rates of severe PPCs.
