Surgical complications are a part of every surgeon's practice. Managing your own complications or one from another provider requires carefully reviewing your patient's previous experience and surgery along with balancing their expectations. In order to provide the best treatment plan, a thorough analysis of the pre and postoperative period that contributed to the patient's outcome must be considered. Identifying what revision options are available and weighing the potential future complications that could arise from another surgery must be reviewed. Honest conversations regarding revision options and if revision surgery is even a viable option is vital for a good patient-physician relationship and outcome.
