“…The identification of risk factors associated with these complications stands as a crucial endeavor for healthcare providers, enabling the anticipation and mitigation of potential issues. Several factors have been documented in the medical literature as contributing to a higher likelihood of postoperative complications [ 1 , 2 , 4 ]. These risk factors encompass age, medical history, surgical complexity, body mass index (BMI), smoking, substance abuse, nutritional status, and preoperative medications [ 7 , 8 ].…”

“…Post-surgical complications are unfortunate and very common problems that can occur even after the most minor operations. Especially in colorectal surgery, there is a 28% chance of developing at least one of these complications [ 1 ]. The most common complications of colorectal surgery are directly related to the site of surgery; these include infections, gastrointestinal (GI) issues such as ileus and obstruction, surgical site hematomas, and wound dehiscence [ 2 ].…”

“…Several risk factors for developing the mentioned surgical complications have been identified in literature. History of strokes, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, heart failure, as well as old age, ascites, hypoalbuminemia, and hypernatremia have all been shown to increase the risk of postoperative complications in colorectal surgery patients [ 1 , 2 ]. The presence of multiple post-surgical complications has been associated with increased hospital length of stay as well as increased mortality in these patients.…”

All surgeries, from minor procedures, such as sutures, to major surgeries, such as open abdominal surgery, carry with them risk for complications. Among the most frequently encountered complications are surgical site infections and thrombotic complications. Less frequently, cardiac complications such as atrial fibrillation are seen. In this case report, we discuss the various complications encountered during the hospital stay of a 61-year-old male following a laparoscopic converted to open colectomy procedure for the treatment of a colorectal mass. Following surgery, a surgical pathology report revealed a newly diagnosed stage 3b colorectal adenocarcinoma. Multiple abscesses in the abdominopelvic cavity were discovered on computed tomography (CT), revealing a major surgical site infectious process. These findings warranted emergent surgical intervention and placement of multiple Jackson-Pratt drains. Due to previously untreated carcinoma promoting a prothrombotic state, the patient developed numerous thrombotic complications such as segmental pulmonary embolism, superior mesenteric vein thrombosis, and superficial thrombophlebitis of the saphenous veins. He also developed new-onset paroxysmal atrial fibrillation secondary to postoperative pain, as well as bilateral pleural effusions. Here, we shed light on the mechanisms of development of such complications, as well as the management and methods for prevention.
