Exploration for Trauma was the most frequent initial operation 28%,followed by Biliary Surgery in 25.6% The most common cause for postoperative acute abdominal complications was intraabdominal infections and /or collections in 68.4% of patients Mortality was 10%, 50% of them were in the intraabdominal infection group 24.3% of patients required more than one re intervention Conclusion : Acute abdominal complications in the early post-operative period presents a problem of special concern not only because of the difficulty in the detection of acute post-operative complications within the abdomen but also in making precise decision to separate those complications from a new condition unrelated to the operation .
