Geriatric surgery; Risk factors; Prehabilitation; Surgical outcomes; Frailty |
Core Tip |
Care for the older surgical patient should not only be focused on traditional outcomes of “time to scan, time to surgery or length of stay.” An individualized comprehensive approach taking into consideration premorbid function, comorbidities, personal wishes, quality of life and functional recovery should also be incorporated to ensure that care for this special group of patients is holistic and complete. |
