Management of Complications in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery 2nd

Medical errors and surgical complications are an unavoidable part of learning and professional growth in medicine. Surgeons often learn more from complications than from successes, and these experiences should be used to improve patient care rather than undermine confidence. A surgeon’s development depends on recognizing, accepting, and properly managing such challenges.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is a broad and evolving specialty in which routine procedures may result in minor or major complications. Due to changes in practice patterns since the publication of the first edition in 2012, a second edition of Management of Complications in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery was necessary to provide an updated reference.

This second edition offers a comprehensive, organized guide to the recognition and management of complications for both trainees and practicing surgeons. It introduces management algorithms to support clinical decision-making and serves as a valuable resource for clinical practice and examination preparation, emphasizing evidence-based strategies to reduce patient morbidity.
