Common Complications in Reconstructive Surgery
Main Article Content
Abstract
Reconstructive surgery is a surgical technique used to restore the function and appearance of tissues that have been damaged or removed due to previous illnesses, injuries, or surgeries. Complications of reconstructive surgery are a major concern for patients and surgeons. Complications can affect patients quality of life, increase healthcare costs, and prolong recovery time. It is important that patients are fully informed about the risks and benefits of reconstructive surgery, and that surgeons take steps to minimize the risk of complications.
