Practical Considerations of Perioperative Assessment and Optimization in Major Colorectal Surgery

Abstract

Successful outcomes after colorectal surgery result not only from technique in the operating room, but also from optimization of the patient prior to surgery. This article will discuss the role of preoperative assessment and optimization in the colorectal surgery patient. Through discussion of the various clinical models, readers will understand the range of options available for optimization. This study will also present information on how to design a preoperative clinic and the barriers to success.

Keywords
