The conversion emerging surgeries (22.2%) is higher compared to elective surgery (2.3%). With these results it is concluded that there is a low frequency conversion in the study, below the rates found and similar investigations, the causes of conversion are similar to studies in the region and a higher conversion rate in females and a higher rate of conversion into emergency surgery elective.
