Complications of lid surgery.
Fifty-seven patients operated for basal cell carcinoma of the lids were reexamined with regard to postoperative and late complications. Minor immediate complications without long-lasting consequences occurred in 37%. Bad scar formation was seen in 4 out of 57 cases. Four other cases suffered with recurrences. Two of these cases were treated with X-rays several years before the surgical intervention.
