Age may bring wisdom but it also brings a greater chance of health problems, and some health problems might require surgery to make you better.

We have a great conversation with Capital Health Care Network's Delores Moore, or as everyone likes to call her, Ms. D.

She is an administrative assistant, who will soon be celebrating her 85th birthday. She recently had a knee replacement surgery. She knew she needed it done, and with the strong encouragement of her eldest daughter, she had it done, and soon will be taking care of her other knee.

If you or someone you love is elderly and needs surgery, there is good news: Health care, in general, is doing a much better job of caring for the elderly, and that means better outcomes after surgery.

The older patient deserves the same quality of care and the same access to information needed to make health care decisions as younger patients. That means, first and foremost, not making surgery decisions based solely on one factor: chronological age.

Geriatrics is the specialty of caring for adults 65 and older. As the population is aging, the simple fact is that most surgeons who treat adults, regardless of specialty, are specializing in the care of the elderly.

Also, when preparing for surgery, the older patient may also want to consider the arrangements that will be necessary after surgery. For example, if the surgeon indicates a stay at a rehabilitation facility will be necessary, the patient can choose the facility they prefer prior to surgery, and even visit if they choose.
