La. Gordon et Sj. Shapiro, ERROR IN LAPAROSCOPIC STRATEGY - A NEW CATEGORY OF SURGICAL COMPLICATION, Complications in surgery, 14(3), 1995, pp. 277-283
The growth of laparoscopic procedures has resulted in a new set of sur
gical complications. Strategies for solving problems in the open surgi
cal setting are not applicable to the laparoendoscopic setting. To imp
rove the specificity of reporting complications and to enhance their d
iscussion at:morbidity and mortality meetings, we propose a new catego
ry of surgical complication: error in laparoscopic strategy.
