Description
Ellis leads a team studying the goals of surgery in young people receiving palliative care in a 2024 paper. Most of these youths have many operations in their lives. Why each operation is done is rarely stated in goal terms.
Records from one center covered nearly two hundred youths and thousands of operations. Almost all patients had at least one operation, and the average count was high. About a quarter aimed to extend life, and over a third aimed to improve life quality. Many held neither goal. Diagnosis and repair were the top purposes, with device placement next. The authors propose shared goal language for surgical talks.
