Textbook Outcome in Colorectal Surgery for Cancer: An Italian Version.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: The textbook outcome (TO) is a composite tool introduced to uniform surgical units and regulate surgical quality and outcomes. A patient is considered TO only if all predetermined items are met. In colorectal surgery, TO represents a new tool that can achieve important results given the prevalence of colorectal cancers. However, at present, there is a lack of uniformity in the TO's definition. This study utilized the Delphi process to define an Italian version of the TO in colorectal cancer. Methods: The survey consisted of two rounds of online questionnaires submitted to an expert panel in colorectal oncological surgery, renowned academic surgeons, who had attended multiple scientific conferences and who were authors of papers on this specific topic.
