Geriatric surgery is a cross-disciplinary specialty that encompasses all fields of surgery. The geriatric population is rapidly increasing in high-income countries and now represents the group undergoing the majority of surgical procedures. Elderly patients present unique characteristics related to their intrinsic frailty. It is therefore reasonable to expect that, much like pediatric surgery, geriatric surgery will become the specialty of the future, acting as a unifying bridge among the various subspecialties into which general surgery has currently evolved. This book aims to support the surgical care of elderly patients across different subspecialty areas. We strongly believe that readers will benefit from this renewed, holistic vision of general surgery as an integrated discipline, as it once was in the past. We thank the Italian Society of Surgery for granting us this privilege and opportunity, and the Italian Society of Surgical Physiopathology for the collaboration in developing the project.
