Evaluation on preoperative assessment of obese patients

[...]we aimed to evaluate service of all obese patients undergoing preoperative assessment for gastrointestinal surgeries retrospectively.[...]the idea behind preassessment service is to allocate high BMI patients to high-risk clinics to improve outcomes and reduce risk of complications as they would be better managed.[...]complications were not assessed using the Clavien-Dindo classification system, making it difficult to assess if obese patients may be at risk of developing major complications as compared with minor ones.
