Abstract

The main task of the general practitioner is not only the early diagnosis of oncologic diseases and the follow-up of these patients, but also the emergency treatment of acute disorders as well as outpatient surgery. This summary overlooks the surgical facilities of the general practitioner to perform urgent and elective outpatient surgery. In addition, the focus is on the management of acute disorders and complications.

[Ambulatory operations in orthopedics].

Outpatient surgery in orthopedics, which ist becoming increasingly popular and is promoted by present-day health care legislation, is associated with a whole range of ifs and buts. Patient-related factors, including age, readiness and ability to cooperate, and home care, need just as much consideration as physician-related factors (experience of the surgeon, anesthesist und surgical team). Architectural and equipment-related facilities need to be investigated. Not every intervention that is theoretically possible on an outpatient basis can be recommended--for example if intensive aftercare, which is better performed on an inpatient basis, should be necessary. The usual postoperative risks (e.g. thrombosis) must be taken into account, and in such cases, proper care must be guaranteed.
