Abstract

Abstract : Program Description: Otolaryngologists perform a variety of surgeries, many of which inherently have a small margin for error. While most surgeries are uneventful, complications present special challenges and may create anxiety among surgeons. This miniseminar will employ a multidisciplinary approach to create a paradigm for management of the unwanted surgical complication. A case‐based approach will be used to highlight common complications. Methods for prevention will be reviewed and keys for management of the unwanted complication will be presented. Cases from each otolaryngology subspecialty will be presented with opportunity for audience interaction and questions. Educational Objectives: 1) Recognize common complications within otolaryngology‐head and neck surgery. 2) Evaluate measures that can be taken preoperatively and intraoperatively to prevent complications. 3) Describe methods to manage common complications.
