Overview
MIS (Minimally Invasive Surgery) complications, also known as iatrogenic complications, are any unwanted side effects caused by a medical intervention. These complications may arise during or after the procedure and can range from minor to severe in severity. Common MIS complications include infection, excessive bleeding, nerve damage, and organ injury. While MIS techniques reduce the risk of medical and surgical complications, the risk of these complications still remain. Management of MIS complications requires prompt and appropriate treatment, as the longer these complications are left untreated, the worse the outcome may be. With careful planning and management, the risk of MIS complications can be minimized, allowing for a successful outcome.
