Background: Obesity is associated with increased risk of surgical complications in some settings.
Objective: As a precursor to a systematic review, we conducted a scoping review of intentional preoperative weight loss to describe these interventions, their feasibility and effectiveness for patients with gastrointestinal cancer.
Methods: In April 2024, Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Google Scholar were searched for primary studies of intentional weight loss before elective gastrointestinal cancer surgery.

Background: A structured risk assessment of patients with validated and evidence-based tools can help to identify modifiable factors before major surgeries. The Protego Maxima trial investigated the value of a new digitized risk assessment tool that combines tools which can be easily used and implemented in the clinical workflow by doctors and qualified medical staff. The hypothesis was that the structured assessment and risk-grouping is predictive of short-term surgical quality reflected by complications and overall survival.
