| Geriatric Surgery - A Peri-Operative Perspective |
|
This symposium has come about as a result of our belief in delivering the best peri-operative care possible to our geriatric patients. We reckon that as the population ages, there will be more elderly patients seeking medical treatment. And a rise in the number of such elderly patients presenting for surgery could only be expected.
