Abstract

Post-operative fever is common after majority of gynecologic surgeries. Although most of the fever is physiological after surgery with self-resolution some require meticulous investigations. Where in spite of all diagnostic work up, no apparent cause of fever is detected it is prudent to discharge the patient. In a resource limited country, a balance needs to be maintained between the investigational cost and affordability of patients. The paper gives simplified view of the various causes and diagnostic as well as treatment approach.
