Brief Summary

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

Major visceral surgery encompasses a broad range of operations with a wide variety of procedures that fall under this category. The majority of patients undergoing major visceral surgery often present with cancer and other medical comorbidities and are put at an elevated risk of a large number of medical and surgical postoperative complications

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Complications following major visceral surgery are relatively common and are estimated to occur in 18-23% of patients . The management of complications is challenging for both the elderly patient and the perioperative team, and adds considerably to the cost of care particularly when further interventions involve readmission, unplanned admission to an intensive care unit, interventional radiology and/or an unplanned return to theatre. With the advancement of online patient portals, the use of internet to seek for health information is already a common phenomenon; Chatbot may become a more significant source of information for patients.
