Dedicated to a technique or a set of techniques for a pathology or an anatomical region, the volumes of the "Surgical Techniques" collection describe the techniques step by step, relying on rich iconography, concise texts, and advice. Although the primary goal of surgery is the treatment of disease, the occurrence of complications is part of the surgeon's practice. In gynecology, these complications are mainly hemorrhagic, digestive, and urological, and they can affect the functional or vital prognosis of the patient. The authors address a sensitive topic that affects about one in six patients, and it is even more crucial as half of these complications could be avoided. These are mainly human errors occurring during the intervention, due to lack of knowledge or attention, which can be avoided by anticipating them. This book offers three parts to prevent, diagnose, and manage complications encountered in the operating room.
