patient outcomes in surgery

Patient outcomes in surgery refer to the results experienced by patients after a surgical procedure. These can include improvements in health, relief of symptoms, or the resolution of medical issues. Positive outcomes often mean the patient recovers well, with minimal complications and a good quality of life afterward. Conversely, negative outcomes may involve complications, infections, or the need for additional treatment. Factors influencing outcomes include the patient’s overall health, the complexity of the surgery, and the skill of the surgical team. Ultimately, the goal is to enhance health, restore function, and reduce risks.
