Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The consultation is always followed by a pre-anesthetic visit upon admission of the patient the day before or the day of the operation to verify the information recorded during the consultation and the patient's state of health. This identifies elements omitted during the pre-anesthesia consultation (face-to-face or remotely) and reduces the risks of potential postponement.
The study investigators hypothesize that there would be no difference in the quality of the information given, the collection of medical, paramedical and medication elements and the evaluation of the operative risk in anesthesia consultation via teleconsultation versus face-to-face. The critical points are the medication reconciliation of the patient's treatments, the overall assessment of the operative risk and anticipated difficulty of access to the airways (mouth opening: ≥ or \<35 mmm).

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Teleconsultation
Remote anesthesia consultation
Anesthesia consultation is carried out in teleconsultation via the "Téléo" web application (audio and video) at the patient's home on a computer or smartphone. This application allows sending and receiving documents identical to those during the face-to-face consultation.
Control group
Face-to-face anesthesia consultation
The anesthesia consultation is carried out in person in accordance with the usual management.
