As Professor Owen H Wangensteen, one of the greatest academic surgeons
of the 20th century, said: You are a true surgeon from the moment you
are able to deal with your complications. Prompt and accurate diagnosis,
as well as effective treatment, of surgical complications is one of the
most important elements of surgical practice. This is today more
important than at any other time, since over the last 20 years we have
witnessed the development of new surgical sub-specialties, the
performing of complicated operations in very challenging patients, the
introduction of new technologies in surgical practice and, last but not
least, an increasing interest in monitoring the quality, medico-legal
implications, and ethical dimensions of surgical practice and
malpractice. As surgical complications have been presented briefly and
sporadically in various books and only as a small part of chapters
dealing with surgical techniques, there is a pressing need for a modern
textbook dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, auditing, medico-legal
implications and ethical problems related to surgical complications.
Written by internationally known authors, the chapters deal with both
the general issues regarding the surgical complications and the specific
issues related to each surgical specialty. Each chapter includes:
clinical presentation; diagnosis (clinical, laboratory investigations,
imaging); treatment (conservative, surgical); and outcome.
