These complications span various systems: circulatory (shock, hemorrhage), infectious (wound infection), thromboembolic (DVT, pulmonary embolism), respiratory, urinary, and anesthetic-related. This underscores the importance of comprehensive patient management, including:
- Close monitoring of vital signs and overall condition in the immediate postoperative period.
-Active prevention: bleeding control, antibiotic and anticoagulant prophylaxis, breathing exercises, and early mobilization.
- Educating the patient about warning signs (fever, unusual pain, swelling, or shortness of breath) and maintaining quick communication with the medical team.
In summary, although many of these complications are infrequent, they can be serious. Proper preoperative preparation, intraoperative and postoperative monitoring, along with the patient’s active participation, are essential to minimize risk and ensure effective recovery
