AB Perioperative  mortality  and  morbidity  have  declined  due  to  improvements  in  surgical,  anesthetic,  and  monitoring  techniques.  The  traditional  preoperative  roles  of  the  medical  consultant  or  primary  care  provider  include  evaluating  the  severity  and  stability  of  medical  conditions,  assessing  the  risk  of  medical  complications,  determining  whether  further  preoperative  risk  stratification  testing  is  indicated,  and  recommending  measures  to  reduce  the  risk  of  perioperative  complications.  The  consultant  may  also  be  asked  to  manage  medical  aspects  of  patients'  postoperative  care,  including  evaluation  and  treatment  of  medical  complications.
