post-operative complications

Post-operative complications are issues that can happen after surgery. These may include infections, where bacteria cause redness, swelling, or fever; bleeding or excessive bruising; blood clots that block blood flow; pain that is worse than expected; or issues with wounds, like opening or not healing properly. Sometimes, organs or tissues don't function as they should after surgery. Many complications can be managed effectively, especially if caught early. It's important to follow medical advice during recovery and report any unusual or severe symptoms to your healthcare provider promptly.
