Knowledge of potential complications is still required to minimize risks. This
article describes the risks associated with the most commonly performed
procedures, precautions that can be taken to minimize these risks, and treatment
options available once complications have occurred. This article describes the
risks associated with the most commonly performed procedures, precautions that
