Summary

There are many factors involved in outlining the patient's profile and in defining which factors can be configured as risks related to the surgical act; for the modern surgeon it is no longer possible to identify the patient at risk of complications based on the mere age or some comorbidities historically considered more influential on the surgical outcome, but each patient must be evaluated in its entirety including age, fragility, comorbidity, state nutritional and sarcopenia and, if necessary, implementing preoperative therapeutic strategies aimed at minimizing the impact of some of these factors on the outcome of surgery.

Our study aimed at creating, if possible, an "identikit" of the patient who is more likely to have serious postoperative complications; in order to improve the therapeutic decision and the approach to patients with severe surgical risk since choosing the right treatment for the right patient is essential to obtain a good result.
