The term “surgical complication” is frequently used in the medical profession, but its definition in the medical literature has been inconsistent over the years. The World Journal of Surgery defines “surgical complication” as “any undesirable, unintended, and direct results of an operation affecting the patient that would not have occurred had the operation gone as well as could reasonably be hoped” [1]. This definition suggests that a surgical complication is dependent on the surgical skill of the surgeon, the facilities and equipment available and the condition of the patient.
