Objective: To investigate the number of cancelled elective surgeries and to identify its causes. Methods: A descriptive, exploratory, prospective and quantitative study was conducted in a university hospital using data from scheduled and cancelled elective surgeries in the period from April to June 2014, which were extracted from TASY System and the Statistical and Medial File Service. Results: 1,699 elective surgeries were scheduled during three months, of which 466 (27.4%) were cancelled. 336 (72.1%) cancellations occurred in the morning; and patients of the Brazilian Unified Health System had 384 (29.2%) surgeries cancelled of the 1,314 scheduled ones. The Proctology sector had 22 cancelled surgeries (43.1%) of 51 scheduled, and Orthopedics had 133 (38.3%) of 347. The main reason for cancellation was “surgeon’s criterion”, seen in 264 cases (56.7%). Conclusion: The number of cancellations was high, and the detailed causes were not identified because the records do not specifically report the reason for cancellation.References
