Consultation of internist in surgical practice: routine necessity
We analyzed the results of 3239 autopsies in three major hospitals in 2003-2006. The frequency of comorbidity in surgical patients reaches 33%, which creates additional difficulties in diagnosis and management of these patients and leads to the high frequency of divergence in diagnoses. The example of two clinical cases demonstrated the need for a unified strategy and tactics of physician and surgeon in the surgical clinic, which contributes to the correct diagnosis and choice of optimal treatment tactics.
