Perioperative Complications

Perioperative complications are problems that can happen around the time of surgery, either during the procedure or shortly after. These issues can include infections, bleeding, blood clots, or reactions to anesthesia. They might cause delays, additional treatments, or longer recovery times. Healthcare teams closely monitor patients to prevent and manage complications, aiming to ensure safety and promote healing. Understanding these risks helps patients prepare for surgery and work with their medical team to reduce potential problems.
