Profile of gynaecology surgeries from Western Province, Solomon Islands.

CONCLUSION: The Solomon Islands presents a unique profile of challenges to surgical practice, including the impact of dengue infection on fitness for surgery, a mobile patient population dispersed across the islands, difficult access to pathology services, and increased length of stay. Despite this, most patients had surgical outcomes equivalent to those in a developed setting. PMID: 30433793 [PubMed - in process]
