  • Title: Complications in gynecological minimal-access oncosurgery.
    Author: Becker S, De Wilde RL.
    Journal: Best Pract Res Clin Obstet Gynaecol; 2016 Aug; 35():63-70. PubMed ID: 27066936.
    Abstract:
    Complications are the limiting factors of all surgeries. More than performing the actual surgery, learning how to avoid complications before, during, and after surgery is the most important task of every surgeon. Severe complications can lead to patient death. Complications such as ureterovaginal fistulas, resulting from <2 s of inattentive preparation, can lead to years of hardship, suffering, accusation, and litigation. Excellent surgery is about performing the right surgery for the right patient without any complications. Minimally invasive surgery in complex cases is technically challenging. This article details the major causes of complications in laparoscopy for the gynecologic cancer patient and present strategies for prevention, early detection, and intra- and postoperative management.
