What Are the Risks of Surgery in Toxicology Cases?
Surgical procedures inherently carry risks, but these can be compounded in toxicology due to factors such as:
- Compromised Immune System: Toxins can weaken the immune system, increasing the risk of infection post-surgery. - Blood Coagulation Issues: Some toxins affect blood coagulation, leading to increased bleeding risks during or after surgery. - Organ Dysfunction: Pre-existing organ damage from toxins can complicate anesthesia and recovery.
