This open access book on Geriatric Surgery is an invaluable resource for healthcare professionals managing elderly surgical patients. It provides essential guidance to improve patient outcomes, optimize surgical decision-making, and enhance perioperative care. Older adults often have multiple comorbidities, altered physiological responses, and increased surgical risks. This manual equips surgeons and clinicians with evidence-based protocols to minimize complications such as infections, delirium, and poor wound healing. It also highlights best practices in prehabilitation, anesthesia considerations, and postoperative recovery strategies tailored to elderly patients.
Surgical decision-making in geriatric patients is complex due to factors like frailty, cognitive impairment, and life expectancy. This well-structured manual outlines risk assessment models, such as the Frailty Index and Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA), ensuring a patient-centered approach that balances surgical benefits against potential risks. Modern geriatric surgery relies on collaboration between surgeons, anesthesiologists, geriatricians, physiotherapists, and dietitians. Our manual facilitates this teamwork by providing integrated care pathways, nutritional guidelines, and rehabilitation protocols to improve recovery and reduce hospital stays.
For medical trainees and general surgeons, this geriatric surgery manual serves as an educational tool to understand the unique challenges of operating on older adults. It includes case studies, clinical algorithms, and practical recommendations that enhance their skills and decision-making abilities. By implementing best practices, hospitals can reduce complications, ICU admissions, and readmissions, ultimately cutting healthcare costs while improving patient quality of life. In summary, this geriatric surgery manual is crucial in providing structured, evidence-based guidance for optimizing surgical care in older adults, leading to better outcomes and more efficient healthcare delivery.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
