On day of discharge and at 3 month follow up patient's surgical complications (if any) will be graded using the Clavien-Dindo classification of surgical complications This classification is used to assess overall hospital morbidity following surgical procedures. Patients are graded as 0 (no complications) or Grade I-V based on the level of complication, including the number of organ system involvement. Grade V is defined as death of a patient. A record of the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) - an update of the Clavien-Dindo classification will also be collected.
