The importance of preoperative control of serologic markers before operations done under local anaesthesia

ConclusionsThis is the first report that evaluates the importance of preoperative control of serologic markers for operations done under local anaesthesia in a plastic surgery clinic. The duration of the operation was found to be the only significant factor that increased the risk of having an incident. We recommend controlling serologic markers, especially before operations that involve longer durations.Level of evidence: Level III, risk/prognostic study
