More than 29 000 15–84 year-olds operated on in 2006–2011 for benign indications were included. They were followed up for readmission within 28 days due to postoperative infection, ileus, disorders of the urinary organs and difficulty urinating. Postoperative infection accounted for better than 80 per cent of all readmissions.
