Post Operative Complications

The patient's medical history should be taken into consideration when managing postoperative problems, which may be either general or unique to the type of surgery performed. Postoperative fever, atelectasis, wound infection, embolism, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are common general postoperative sequelae.

One to three days following surgery, postoperative problems are most likely to occur. However, various complications happen in the early postoperative, several days following the operation, during the postoperative period, and in the late postoperative period, according to the following distinct temporal patterns.
