	eMedicine - Meatal Stenosis : Article by Carlos A Angel, MD
		Another hypothetical cause of this condition is ischemia due to damage to the frenular artery during circumcision, resulting in poor blood supply to the meatus and subsequent stenosis.
		Complications include bleeding during or after meatotomy, infection, and recurrence.
		Medicine is a constantly changing science and not all therapies are clearly established.

		The literature that compares the experience of surgeons to postoperative complications is sparse as it may have implications in the training of junior surgeons [11].
		They showed that complications were numerous after removal of teeth classified as a partially or completely impacted within bone and also that less experienced surgeons had significantly higher incidences of complications.
		The incidence of the permanent damage of the inferior dental and lingual nerves were found to be lower than the incidences reported by Bataineb [22] for both the senior and junior staff and quiet consistent with the results of Sisk et al.

	Concealed Penis: Another Complication of Circumcision

		Complications include mediastinitis and mediastinal abscess secondary to spread from the retropharyngeal space (being contiguous with the mediastinum), airway obstruction, and rupture of the abscess with potential aspiration of pus and pneumonia.
		Mediastinitis is a rare and life-threatening complication with a mortality rate as high as 40%.
		The high occurrence of mixed aerobic and anaerobic flora in retropharyngeal abscess complicated by mediastinitis may account for the necrotizing nature of this type of infection.

	Richmond Eye Associates, Risks and Complications of Laser Vision Correction
		The most common "complication" of Laser Vision Correction is that the vision still requires glasses or contact lenses to be perfect.
		Although the microkeratome is meticulously cared for and examined before each case for proper functioning, there are situations where the microkeratome does not properly perform and the case may have to be rescheduled.
		Laser related complications: In very rare circumstances, the laser may not operate properly and give an uneven treatment to the eye, or the treatment may not be perfectly centered over the pupil.

		The operations most commonly associated with this complication include distal or subtotal gastrectomies for peptic ulcer disease or gastric malignancies with Billroth II reconstructions, pancreaticoduodenectomies, and gastrojejunostomies performed to bypass other foregut pathology.
		ALS is included in the constellation of resectional gastric surgical complications known as the postgastrectomy syndromes.
		Overall, the incidence of this complication decreased dramatically during the final quarter of the 20th century as elective gastric surgery for complications of peptic ulcer disease experienced a logarithmic decline (Paimela, 1991; Burkhalter, 1988).

	Significantly increased complication risk with mass circumcisions
		Patients and Methods The study comprised both a retro- spective and prospective analysis of 220 cases of complications from circumcisions occurring during the last decade and a comparison of the frequency and distribution of complications in mass (n=700) and single (n=600) circumcisions.
		The frequency of complications from circumcision was statistically significantly greater than that from circumcisions performed in operating room conditions (relative risk 3.05, P<0.001).
		In those patients with complications, only 5% of the circumcisions were performed by doctors, 10% by health technicians and the remaining 85% by traditional circumcisers.

		DURHAM, N.C. -- Noting that surveys show physicians are generally poorly informed about the complication rates for a surgical procedure that clears blockages in neck arteries, a Duke neurologist has called for mandatory audits of these rates as a part of a hospital's official accreditation process.
		While there are many factors that affect the complication rates for patients afterthe surgery, the skill of the surgeon is critical, Goldstein said.

		There was a complication rate of 13% for the 157 tubes placed by emergency physicians at our institution and a complication rate of 6% for the 355 tubes placed by surgeons Figure 2.
		Ninety-nine of the 355 chest tubes placed by surgeons were done in the emergency department, with a complication rate of 5% Figure 3, while tubes put in by surgeons in other areas of the hospital had a complication rate of 7%.
		First, their initial finding that "The differences in the complication rates between prehospital tube placement vs emergency physician placement vs placement by surgeons were all significant" compared all tubes placed by surgeons (including those in the OR) to the other physicians.

		Bone marrow transplant is a lifesaving treatment given to children or adults with certain types of cancer, such as leukemia or lymphoma, or to people with some blood or immune disorders.
		The complicated treatment carries a risk of the body rejecting the new bone marrow -- a condition known as graft vs. host disease, or GVHD.
		If we can develop a test that can reliably predict this complication, we can then look at treating it before any symptoms develop.

	Common treatment for diabetic crisis in children may contribute to rare but often fatal complication
		A common treatment for children in diabetic crisis should be abandoned in most cases because it appears to contribute to a rare but often-fatal complication known as cerebral edema, according to a study by researchers at UC Davis School of Medicine and Medical Center.
		The researchers found that bicarbonate, a common treatment for diabetic ketoacidosis, appears to increase the risk of cerebral edema, or swelling of the brain, which can be fatal.
		While the complication occurs in only about 1 percent of diabetic ketoacidosis cases in children, 40 percent to 90 percent of the children who develop cerebral edema die, and many others are left with permanent brain damage.

		Earlier research had suggested that these Langerhans cells react with immune cells derived from the transplant and cause graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a dangerous complication in which donor immune cells attack the skin, liver, and gut.
		In the mouse experiment, by hematologist Miriam Merad of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York and her colleagues at several institutions, UV-light exposure before the transplantation prevented GVHD.
		GVHD is the most common complication of marrow transplants, affecting 30 to 60 percent of recipients, says Kenneth R. Cooke, a transplant physician at the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor.
