How do you determine if a surgery is major intermediate or minor?

The classification of surgery as major, intermediate, or minor is typically based on factors such as the complexity of the procedure, the potential risks involved, the length of the surgery, and the expected recovery time. Major surgeries usually involve significant tissue manipulation, greater anesthesia risks, and longer recovery periods, while minor surgeries are less invasive, often performed under local anesthesia, and have minimal recovery time. Intermediate surgeries fall between these two categories, involving moderate complexity and risks. Ultimately, the classification can also depend on the patient's overall health and the specific context of the procedure.
