Abstract
Despite a thorough preoperative assessment, surgical planning and meticulous attention to technical details, surgery may fail due to unforeseen complications. In the absence of a comprehensive preoperative appraisal, the surgical outcome is unlikely to be successful. In fact, it may worsen the initial condition, as is illustrated by the most challenging cases resulting from previous failed surgeries (Fig. 23.1).
