Core Tip	Integrating video-assisted informed consent into clinical practice can enhance consultation efficiency and support shared decision-making in major gastrointestinal surgeries. Video aids were beneficial regardless of timing, but pre-consultation viewing was more effective in reducing decision uncertainty. Pre-consultation video aids may better prevent high decisional conflict compared to video viewing after consultation. Video aids for surgical informed consent reduced the duration of in-person consultations by approximately 40%.
