title: [Surgical indication (author's transl)].
abstract: Indication is placed as an act of will between the intellectually and technologically determined items of diagnostics and therapy, with indication being a specific item of surgery. There is an interaction between the patient's will and the Doctor's will. The term risk is introduced in the form of the quotient resulting from "risk of illness" and "risk of intervention", i.e. the risk quotient. Various forms of assessing an indication are given.
