title: [Surgical complications in pacemaker operations and their management].
abstract: A review is presented of the range of surgical complications encountered in 120 out of 749 patients (16%) receiving a pacemaker implantation over the period October 1974 to September 1975. These complications can be subdivided into those involving interruption or disturbance of the conduction of the pacemaker impulse and those associated with impaired wound-healing. The aetiology, the diagnosis and the surgical management are discussed.
