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.

A HISTORY OF SURGICAL COMPLICATIONS
- Pages:1–40
https://doi.org/10.1142/9781860948329_0001
Preview Abstract
Defining a surgical complication before the latter part of the 18th century is not as straightforward a thing as it might appear at first sight. For one might argue that not until after John Hunter's monumental study of pathological processes in his Treatise on the Blood, Inflammation and Gun-shot Wounds(1794) did surgeons really come to develop a concept of surgical healing that, by definition, did not assume complications as part of the course of nature, a thing that had to be managed and nursed around, if the strength of the patient allowed, rather than something that could be avoided altogether. For by definition, a complication, in any sphere of endeavour, is something out of the norm, and the product of extraneous and unexpected factors. Yet since time immemorial, pain, trauma, haemorrhage, inflammation, fever and infection in all their complex forms had been reckoned as normal in surgery, along with the acceptance of a very high death rate amongst surgical patients.

- INDEX
“The two editors have assembled a large and international team of contributors, covering the surgical specialties as well as anaesthetics, gastrointestinal medicine, and imaging, and also including a medical historian and a medicolegal ethicist. Its chapters cover pretty well every aspect of this broad subject … The book provides surgeons with a splendid account of today's diagnostic and therapeutic arsenal in managing surgical complications … this is a nicely produced and illustrated and easy to read book.”
