Some more about unfavourable results after corrective surgery as seen in leprosy.

ABSTRACT

The paper describes unfavourable outcomes of some of the commonly performed surgical procedures in leprosy affected persons and the underlying causes. An awareness about unfavourable outcomes of surgery is helpful to the beginners because they can anticipate the problems and take appropriate measures to prevent that and failing which prepare themselves to face and sort that out. Careful pre-operative evaluation of the patient is an important first step.
