SURGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT IS CRUCIAL TO MITIGATE POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS

Abstract




Postoperative complications often determine the failure of a meticulous and adequate surgical intervention. The surgical risk assessment allows the identification of patients who can benefit from a program to optimize their general condition, reducing the risk of postoperative complications. The purpose of this article is to address the main factors associated with increased perioperative risk as well as the most appropriate tools for an objective assessment of surgical risk and to use this information to mitigate postoperative complications.
