Abstract
Attention to surgical details and a commitment to surgical excellence are two fundamental principles that will help provide the best clinical and functional results following open surgical procedures. Most postoperative complications can be clinically related or traced back to technical errors made in the operating room. Thus, the importance of avoiding or reducing intraoperative surgical complications cannot be overemphasized.
