Abstract
Purpose: To find out the relation between smoking status and perioperative complications among the study subjects
Materials and Methods: 120 subjects were studied to determine the effect of smoking cessation on the incidence of perioperative complications.
Results: A total of 120 cases were studied from July 2017 to June 2019.
Conclusion: Cessation of Smoking in the perioperative period has shown to reduce the complications in the postoperative period even if the abstinence from Smoking is as late as 48 hours before the surgery to reduce cardiovascular complications and post-operative wound healing.
Keywords: Smoking, peri-operative complications.
