Problems and complications associated with colorectal surgery.
Successful colorectal surgery requires a combination of thorough patient evaluation and surgical judgment to determine the correct surgical approach and to properly apply the general principles of colorectal surgery. These principles include gentle tissue handling, preservation of blood and nerve supply, proper suture selection and suture techniques, postoperative monitoring, and early recognition and treatment of complications.
