Key result
A self-administered preoperative health questionnaire failed to identify a history of significant hemorrhage in a 22-year-old male, leading to a postoperative hematoma and a subsequent diagnosis of von Willebrand Disease.
Why the study?
The limitations of standardized self-assessment tools and AI-driven preoperative evaluations lack full acknowledgment.

Self-administered preoperative health questionnaires may miss critical bleeding history, highlighting the need for thorough in-person anamnesis to prevent surgical complications.
Self-administered questionnaires may miss bleeding disorders; leaves open whether physician-led screening improves preoperative detection.
The rise of standardized self-assessment tools and AI-driven preoperative evaluations lacks full acknowledgment of their limitations. A male patient with gynecomastia developed a hematoma post-liposuction and subcutaneous mastectomy, revealing undisclosed von Willebrand Disease. Thorough in-person anamnesis surpasses self-administered questionnaires by capturing implicit cues and deeper patient insights.
