IC 104-2023: Complications – Surgeons’ Worst Enemy & Best Teacher. Not if but when complications are an inevitable part of life as a surgeon. Although sometimes simple in theory, dealing with complications represents a challenge for many of us, and our response to these difficult events and the patients affected by them speaks to our effectiveness as physicians. Young surgeons are often unprepared for the bouts of failure that lay ahead. Yet complications are perhaps our best educator and can be an important catalyst for improvement. Faculty will present the worst complications of their careers as it relates to common shoulder, elbow and knee surgeries. We will discuss both the technical errors and subsequent changes made as well as the life lessons learned along the way. This is intended to be a practical, in-the-trenches approach to minimize complications, manage bad outcomes and deliberately improve going forward.
