Multimorbide Patienten in der endokrinen Chirurgie
摘要
Endocrine surgery in multimorbid, frail and geriatric patients is increasing, is often urgent and characterized by special risk constellations. Successful parathyroid gland surgery nearly always results in a marked improvement, irrespective of the specific risk profile of the patient. Except for critical intubation and mediastinal interventions in the risk profile, surgery of the thyroid glands is predominantly beneficial and justifiable even in frail patients. For surgery of the adrenal glands and for gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET), the expected extension of resection, the underlying disease or the grading are decisive for whether alternative treatment measures or surveillance appear to be more beneficial for patients at risk.
