Why complex surgeries in children are associated with poorer outcomes

Despite obvious progress in perioperative morbidity and mortality we still face challenges in explaining why complex surgical procedures in children are associated with poorer outcomes. This review aims to address the importance of improving perioperative outcome through the implementation of strategies for quality assurance and the safe conduct of paediatric anaesthesia.
