[Plastic Surgery in Palliative Care - Report on the Consensus Workshop of the 37th Annual Meeting of the German-language Group for Microsurgery of the Peripheral Nerves and Vessels (DAM) 2016 in Bochum].

Discussion: Plastic surgeons should regularily attend tumour boards to spread the knowledge of the value of reconstructive procedures in multidisciplinary treatment, in order to enhance the quality of live of the palliative patient. Participation in the preparation of the next treatment guidelines for palliative care would be desirable. Whenever patients are considered in a palliative situation, palliative care anesthesiologists should be involved. PMID: 28033624 [PubMed - in process]
