Abstract

It is difficult to truly define iatrogenic complications in the postsurgical state in that the surgery is a condition originated by physician intervention and thus any problems that occur may be technically considered as physician created. In this article we attempt to demonstrate problems that occur both due to technical errors and the choice of operative procedure. In addition, unusual postsurgical anatomy is illustrated with the hope of avoiding further iatrogenic problems from lack of recognition.
