Abstract
This study aimed to assess the frequency and reasons for last-minute cancellations of surgical operations. Variables included operational plans, number of cancellations, patient age and gender, and reasons for cancellation. Descriptive statistics were applied using SPSS16 to analyze data from 8256 planned operations, of which 165 were cancelled. Notably, 30.8% of cancellations lacked documented reasons. The primary reasons for cancellations were high-risk underlying diseases (24.7%), patient non-compliance with medical advice (12.8%), clinical changes (9.11%), prolonged previous operations (9%), patient dissatisfaction (7.1%), and incomplete Nil Per Os (NPO) time (7.7%). Lack of patient cooperation emerged as a significant factor contributing to cancellations. Efforts to address these issues are crucial for reducing inefficiencies and resource waste in surgical operations.
