Complications of Dermatologic Surgery

The increased scope and complexity of dermatologic surgery has led to a need for greater skill and knowledge on the prevention and treatment of the associated complications. Most textbooks on dermatologic surgery acknowledge that postoperative complications exist, and some describe briefly methods of prevention or options for their further management. However, here for the first time is a reference to turn to where the problems and complications are adequately considered in all their complexity, covering details of causes, and methods of prevention, together with advice on which complications are most likely to be encountered and how they may be recognized, investigated, and treated. The primary aims of this volume are to ensure that knowledge of the existence and causes of complications increases, that prevention becomes more widely accepted, and that the recognition and management of complications can be undertaken with skill and competence.
