Aims
To evaluate the long-term performance of the Geriatric Surgical Service (GSS) in colorectal surgery in terms of outcomes.
Background
Geriatric patients face unique surgical risks due to frailty and co-morbidities.
Methods
Retrospective study of 233 patients using CUSUM analysis to evaluate performance trends and identify success predictors.
Results
GSS significantly reduced post-operative complications and optimized patient recovery through tailored interventions.
Conclusion
High-quality surgery and pre-operative optimization are crucial for improved outcomes in geriatric colorectal surgery.
Lessons Learnt
Effective prehabilitation and multidisciplinary approaches drive surgical success in geriatric care.
