Role of General Medicine Consultants in Surgical Care
The consultants from the Department of General Medicine play a crucial role in the surgical care continuum. In addition to the anesthetists’ assessments, they are actively involved in conducting comprehensive preoperative evaluations. This helps in identifying and managing existing medical conditions that may impact surgical outcomes.
Their responsibilities extend beyond the preoperative phase. General Medicine consultants are often called upon to manage coexisting medical conditions throughout the perioperative period — including the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases. Their timely interventions ensure that patients are medically optimized before surgery and that complications are minimized during and after the procedure.
