Since the very beginning of doctors practising gynaecology and obstetrics, surgery has often proved to be one of the most effective methods of treatment. To this day, many so-called "women's diseases" are treated by choice on the operating table using either classical or laparoscopic methods. This is why the subject of post-operative complications is such an extremely important issue. By understanding this issue, it is possible to minimise the risks associated with surgical procedures and ensure the greatest possible safety for female patients.
