Abstract

This article aims to provide a literature review on complications and intercurrences associated with bichectomy surgery. Bichectomy surgery, although generally safe, is not free from common complications. Patients may experience risks such as infection, swelling, and bruising, which are typical of many surgical procedures. Infection can occur if bacteria enter the surgical site, requiring treatment with antibiotics to control and prevent future complications. Swelling and bruising, on the other hand, are common due to tissue trauma and usually resolve with time and proper care. In some cases, more serious problems, such as bruising, may develop, requiring additional medical intervention. Effective postoperative management involves monitoring the surgical site for signs of infection, controlling swelling with cold compresses, and counseling patients on proper hygiene practices to minimize risks.
