Abstract
This study aimed to identify and analyze the primary causes of surgical cancellations and propose strategies for their prevention. Among 8,256 scheduled operations, 166 cases (4%) were cancelled. The leading causes included high-risk underlying diseases (22.5%), patient non-attendance (14.3%), and changes in clinical status (10.5%). Additional reasons were operation theater (OT) time constraints (11.2%), patient dissatisfaction (8.9%), and incomplete Nil PerOs (NPO) preparation (9.7%). The study emphasized the importance of thorough preoperative assessments, effective patient education, and streamlined hospital operations. Moreover, enhancing coordination between departments, regular equipment maintenance, and accurate documentation can significantly reduce cancellations. These preventive measures will not only improve hospital efficiency but also contribute to better patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness in healthcare operations.
