SPECIFIC FEATURES OF NEUROSURGICAL OPERATIONS IN ELDERLY PATIENTS
Keywords:

Neurosurgical interventions in elderly patients have unique clinical and biological features that distinguish them from those in younger populations. This article reviews the specific challenges of neurosurgery in the elderly, including the impact of comorbidities, increased surgical risks, postoperative complications, and slower recovery processes. Modern approaches such as minimally invasive surgery, neuronavigation, intraoperative monitoring, and tailored rehabilitation programs are discussed as effective strategies to improve outcomes. Evidence suggests that individualized treatment planning, careful preoperative assessment, and multidisciplinary collaboration are essential to enhance the safety and efficacy of neurosurgical operations in this age group.References
