Features: For surgeons, surgical complications are like sailors encountering storms during their voyages—something that may arise in every journey. Each complication is a source of stress for surgeons. In fact, not all surgical complications are accidents; only a minority are caused by negligence. On the contrary, most are inevitable outcomes of surgery. The focus should be on correcting the problem rather than blaming. It must always be recognized that the burden of surgical complications on patients is heavier than on doctors. Although surgical complications are unavoidable even for skilled and experienced experts, meticulous attention to surgical procedures and sound judgment (understanding operations and control) are crucial in most surgeries to prevent complications. When complications occur, surgeons must remain calm and make sound judgments. This book covers both urological surgical complications and non-surgical complications, providing a comprehensive guide to the understanding, diagnosis, management, and prevention of urological complications.
