Grade 1:      Normal healthy patient (i.e.without any clinically important co morbidity and without a clinically significant past / present  history)

 

Grade 2:      Patient with mild systemic disease.

6.         Previous major laparotomy / abdominal surgery

7.         History of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism
