Classification by Clavien et al.27 Grade I: alterations from the ideal postoperative course, nonlife-threatening and with no lasting disability. Complications of this grade necessitate only bedside procedures and do not significantly extend hospital stay. Grade II: complications that are potentially life-threatening but without residual disability. A subdivision is made according to the requirement for invasive procedures (IIB). Grade III: complications resulting in residual long-term disability, including organ resection or persistence of life-threatening conditions. Grade IV: complications leading to patient death.
