In a prospective multicenter study of long-term outcomes in 115 adults who were given a continuous infusion of intrathecal baclofen over 12 months, 66 had no adverse events. The reported adverse events were wound complications (22%), catheter problems (36%), cerebrospinal fluid leakage (25%), and other complications (17%) [35 ]. 

The results of surgical repair are nearly 100%, but this treatment is not free of morbidity or even mortality, in most cases due to the significant cardiac comor-hidity of the affected patients. In a cohort study of 55 patients presenting with arterial injuries produced hy percutaneous femoral procedures. Franco et al. reported nine postoperative wound complications, five myocardial infarctions, and two deaths [6]. These numbers result in a postoperative morbidity rate of 25% and a postoperative mortality of 3.5%. 

During hospitalization postoperative stage Problems with the surgical dressing notifying staff could help to reduce the likelihood of infection or other wound complications. 

After total resections, leaks are a common complication at the level of the oesophagojejunal anastomosis (Fig. 13.20). Less frequently leaks are found at the duodenal stump. Intraabdominal bleeding (Fig. 13.21), wound complications and abscesses may also be encountered (Fig. 13.22).
