Complication

In medicine, a complication was an unexpected problem or issue that would arise during or after a disease, procedure, or treatment.

In 2365, while replacing Jean-Luc Picard's cardiac implant, a surgeon said to him, "This will be a secondary cardiac procedure with mid-line entry and excision of the early model unit. I anticipate no complications, as the patient has had positive primary results and exhibits extraordinary physical condition." (TNG: "Samaritan Snare")
