Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

“Every surgeon carries within himself a small cemetery, where from time to time he goes to pray-a place of bitterness and regret, where he must look for an explanation for his failures”, René Leriche. Complications in general surgery and its supra-specialties are devastating for the surgeon and, of course, for the patient. We must encourage a rise in the reporting and publication of our perioperative complications to improve our outcomes and help other surgeons around the world avoid complications, as well as advise them on how to approach them. For this reason, this Special Issue titled Preventing and Managing Surgical Complications: Perspectives from South American Centers is a vital opportunity for helping Latin American surgeons achieve this goal.

Best regards,

Dr. Luis Felipe Cabrera-Vargas
Guest Editor

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are a highly asymptomatic vascular pathology with an increasing risk of rupture, leading to high mortality. Upon detection, treatment primarily involves lifestyle changes to slow the growth rate. Aneurysm rupture requires immediate surgical intervention due to its high mortality. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a common treatment option, involving stent placement at the aneurysm site. However, the stent is a foreign body; therefore, it is susceptible to immune response and infection. This case series presents patients with infected endovascular stents following a diagnosis of abdominal infrarenal aortic aneurysm and EVAR. The patients’ follow-ups revealed varying prognoses, complications, and treatments post-infection. These findings are compared with outcomes reported in the medical literature. Preventing aortic stent graft infection through proper aseptic techniques is crucial. This practice reduces patient complications, shortens inpatient hospice stays, and, most importantly, enhances patient quality of life. Full article
