About this book

Risk management is a relatively new process that can sometimes evoke feelings of suspicion among clinicians. However, when used proactively, it offers the opportunity to act at the root cause of an incident to expose de? ?ci- cies in the system rather than in individuals. This process encourages a s- portive approach to patients, relatives, and staff. The overall aim should be to learn lessons rather than to attribute blame. References 1.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"This is a brief overview of the prevention and treatment of several surgical gynecologic complications. … The book does a decent job of evaluating and addressing the most current topics in this field. The goal of this book is to be useful to both general gynecologists and urologists. The audience could be extended to include residents and highly motivated medical students. … This ambitious book attempts to cover the highly important area of recent advances in gynecologic surgical complications." (Nora T Kizer, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2008)
