Abstract
Complications are an inevitable part of surgery and, despite the best preparative efforts, events may not unfold as planned and unanticipated complications inescapably occur. A thorough knowledge of potential complications in order of likelihood and importance is paramount in achieving the best possible outcome, not simply to minimize the occurrence of these events but also to provide the capacity to optimally evaluate and manage such events should they arise. This review summarizes the evaluation and management of complications associated with commonly performed surgical procedures in the field of ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery.
