A. Intra- and postoperative complications after stage 1

Intraoperative Postoperative
A. Intraoperative in stage 1A (preparation of the globe) A. Mucosal
 Corneal/scleral perforation Damage to the parotid duct while harvesting the buccal mucosa  Persistent paresthesia in the lower lip (site of donor graft)
