Berlin – “Surgery consists of more than just the pure surgical act†, this statement was pointed out by the German Society of Surgery, prior to a joint session noted with different sub-affiliates in August.
“A well performed surgery is not composed by only the professionally executed operation, rather it is the result of close teamwork between surgeons and anesthesiologists, emergency medicine physicians, nurses, physiotherapists and experts from quality and safety management,†said Hartwig Bauer, The president of the German Society of Surgery.
All the different indispensable specializations that intertwine and contribute to the success of the surgical act provide services that the surgeon itself can’t manage by himself, emphasized Bauer.
Patients are often unaware about the complex process management and close cooperation involved for their treatment and often overlook the importance of every individual that is involved in their treatment process.
Remember! A doctors work-life is based on team-work and multidisciplinary cooperation!
