Abstract
Patients undergoing surgery may develop postoperative complications. The morbidity rate, defined as the proportion of patients developing at least 1 post-surgical complication, increases in the presence of co-morbidities (patient risk) and with the complexity and duration of the surgical procedure (procedure risk). Morbidity rates are often underestimated by clinicians when not measured from objective data. The principle post-surgical complications are listed in Table 1. A study by Ghaferi et al. [1] published in 2009 showed an average morbidity rate of 25 % in over 80,000 patients undergoing general and vascular surgery. Post-surgical complications are not exceptions.
