Complications are an acknowledged part of any surgical practice. Infections are a common factor in complications; technical misadventures are less frequent, but can be equally serious. One result of the influx of endoscopic and laparoscopic operations has been an increase in complications caused by the inherent inability of the operating surgeon to envisage the operative area and, sometimes, due to the inexperience and inability of the operator to master the technical demands presented by minimally invasive surgery. This concise book identifies the complications of endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques, and describes their prevention and management.
