Complications in Surgery,2/e
Complications in Surgery, Second Edition offers authoritative recommendations for preventing and managing complications
in all current general surgery procedures. The opening sections discuss institutional risk management issues and risks
common to all operations, such as wound healing problems, infection, shock, and complications in immunosuppressed
patients. Subsequent sections focus on complications of specific procedures in thoracic, vascular, gastric, endocrine,
breast, and oncologic surgery, as well as organ transplantation and pediatric surgery. This edition includes new
information on surgical quality assessment and patient safety and updated information in the organ-specific chapters.
