Geriatric surgery is a specialized area of surgery that focuses on the care and treatment of elderly patients. Due to the unique medical and physical characteristics of older adults, geriatric surgery involves specific considerations and approaches to ensure the best outcomes for this population. This may include incorporating a team-based approach with geriatricians, physical therapists, and other specialists to address the complex medical issues that can arise in older patients. Additionally, geriatric surgery may involve modifications to standard surgical techniques and protocols to account for the age-related changes in anatomy, physiology, and overall health of elderly patients. Overall, the goal of geriatric surgery is to provide safe and effective surgical care for older adults while minimizing the risks and complications associated with surgery in this population.
