Abstract

Complications are an integral part of any medical interventions, however they are potentially avoidable. Sequelae on the other hand are inevitable. The art of medical practice aims to recognize high-risk scenarios and take measures to minimize pitfalls. The clinical outcome should be periodically audited to recognize patterns of complications and to implement remedial actions to correct these errors. The effectiveness of the remedial actions also needs to be evaluated. This is a continuous process.
