Summary

The life expectancy of the Colombian population is increasing. Older patients are frequently hospitalized and treated in surgical wards, and are treated as the general surgical population. However, geriatric patients are frequently found with additional comorbidities, besides the primary surgical diagnosis. Some diseases, like hip fractures, diverticulitis, and cancer, are common in this age range. The preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative period requires a special care and planning to avoid complications related to the physical status, medications, and comorbidities. Studies about the geriatric surgical population are limited in the Orinoco region. The implementation of a comprehensive geriatric assesment in surgical services requires follow-up of outcomes.
