Necessity of Geriatric Neurosurgery

The old peoples over 65 years old are rapidly increased in Japan. Some neurosurgeons should specialize in the diseases of elderly peoples and become geriatric neurosurgeons, because they have many characteristics. Futhermore, more exact diagnoses and their less invasive treatments are necessary in elderly patients. We advocate the comprehensive geriatric assessment before the discharge. We propose the necessity of the mutual contact among doctors, nurses, and nursing care for the elderly.
