- Abstract
Background: The aging society imposes special challenges on operative medicine. Objective: Characteristics in the perioperative treatment of older patients. Consequences for the daily practice. Material and methods: Evaluation and summary of existing literature including recommendations for the (peri)operative management of older patients. Results: Despite the growing relevance there are only few studies focusing on older patients. The altered (patho)physiology and comorbidities are challenging and can lead to complications. Conclusion: The evaluation of the indications for surgery should meticulously take the improvement to be expected into account by weighing up the individual wishes of patients and special risks. The adequate perioperative care including early mobilization and sufficient analgesia are decisive.
