Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
"Every surgeon carries within himself a small cemetery, where from time to time he goes to pray—a place of bitterness and regret, where he must look for an explanation for his failures", René Leriche. Complications in general surgery and its supra specialties are devastating for the surgeon and for the patient. We must encourage the rise in the report and publication of perioperative complications to improve our outcomes and help other surgeons around the world to avoid complications and to teach them how to approach this issue. For that reason, this Special Issue titled: Preventing and Managing Surgical Complications: Perspectives from Surgeons: 2nd Edition, it is a vital opportunity for surgeons to achieve this goal.
Dr. Luis Felipe Cabrera-Vargas
Guest Editor
