The Postsurgical Clavien-Dindo Classification in Minor Surgery Can Improve Perception and Communication (Investigation on Blepharoplasty).

ABSTRACT: The postsurgical Clavien-Dindo classification in minor surgery can improve perception and communication (Investigation on Blepharoplasty). Background: Minor surgery lacks a standardized postoperative complication classification. This leads to the presentation of inaccurate postsurgical complication rates and makes comparisons challenging, especially for patients seeking information. This study aims to evaluate a standardized five-step complication grading system (Clavien-Dindo Classification, CDC) on the example of blepharoplasty, which is the most performed minor aesthetic surgery worldwide. Methods: A retrospective observational exploratory study of patients (N = 344) who received a bilateral upper eyelid blepharoplasty under local anesthesia from the same surgical staff wa
