AB There  are  many  postoperative  complications  related  to  particular  procedures  that  are  beyond  the  scope  of  this  text.  Hospitalists  caring  for  surgical  patients  should  have  an  understanding  of  what  surgical  procedure  was  performed,  the  indication  for  that  operation,  and  what  perioperative  concerns  the  operating  surgeon  has  based  on  the  circumstances  of  that  particular  patient  or  procedure.  This  should  be  part  of  the  communication  between  the  surgical  and  hospitalist  staff.  Here  we  will  consider  complications  that  are  commonly  associated  with  all  surgical  procedures.
