Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to prospectively assess the impact of surgical quality on the overall cost of major surgical procedures using the incidence and severity of complications as surrogate markers of quality.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Costs

Patients collected consecutively for undergoing major surgical procedures(liver, bile duct, pancreas, small bowel, colo-rectal, gastric bypass resections).

No additional intervention than the intended major surgery in pancreas, liver, colorectal, gastric bypass and small bowel

Intervention Type OTHER
