This new edition builds upon the foundation of the first and second
editions of the handbook, volumes separated by a decade of
experience in the field, in a format that is both comprehensive and
fluid. The combination of print and electronic versions will
promote more rapid up-dating of chapters as new information
appears. The Third Edition opens with general principles. The broad
body of the volume encompasses diseases of the elderly and
physiologic changes by system, as well as geriatric syndromes,
perioperative management, and transitions of care into post-acute
settings. The large concluding section is comprised of
specialty-specific results of surgery in the elderly and suggested
modifications recommended by experienced surgeons. Principles and
Practice of Geriatric Surgery provides a comprehensive account that
will allow all providers of healthcare to the elderly understand
the issues involved in choosing surgery as a treatment option for
their patients.
