ABSTRACT
Older adults who undergo major operations are at high risk for complications, disability, and death. The physio-social compromises unique to older adults are not routinely assessed and managed in the perioperative setting. Currently, the most practice-changing topic nationally in geriatric surgery is the implementation of comprehensive, multidisciplinary geriatric care pathways to provide age-friendly care for older adults throughout their perioperative course. This review presents three recently published articles focused on defining evidence-based outcomes associated with implementation of a comprehensive geriatric surgery program for older adults undergoing major inpatient operations. These studies serve as the initial evidence evaluating the efficacy and effectiveness of comprehensive perioperative geriatric surgery programs. Each study was chosen due to their high potential for meaningful impact for both clinicians and healthcare systems looking to improve their surgical care of older adults.
