In dermatologic surgery, surgical success depends not only on selecting an appropriate defect closure method but also on the postoperative course. The most common complications include local wound infections, followed by postoperative bleeding. In addition, venous stasis, wound dehiscence, as well as flap and scar hypertrophy may occur, potentially impairing functional and aesthetic outcomes. The primary goal is the early recognition and targeted management of complications to ensure patient satisfaction and optimal surgical results. An overview of the most common postoperative complications in dermatological surgery and their management is provided.
