Method:The study had been carried out in upgraded department of General Surgery in SMS Medical College and Hospital. The cases comprises of operated in SMS Hospital and those referred from other surgical centers.Results: Maximum patients 70% needs relaparotomy only one time which had minimum mortality (11.4%). Four patients (8%) were needed relaparotomy 3 times in which 2 patient were expired. Mean while mortality rate of 3rd relaparotomy was 50%. Relaparotomy were done mainly for adhesion obstruction and anastomotic leakage. Adhesion obstruction superwanes anastomotic leakage (40% v/s 28%). 4% patients in which foreign body (sponge in peritoneal cavity at the time of previous surgery) were found both cases operated for caesarian section. 68% patients were refered from some other institution Conclusion: Decision to perform relaparotomy as per patients condition, if taken in time it can improv overall survival and have a positive impact on decrease length of hospital stay, overall cost of treatment and morbidity as well as mortality.
