[Theoretical surgery and making a clinical decision].
Theoretical surgery--if available in departments of surgery--participates in clinical decisions as a supportive system with concepts, structures, and methods of formal (statistical) and heuristic (problem-solving, individual) decision making. Decision making for groups of patients and for individual subjects is not identical, but also not mutually exclusive. Decision support is realized in terms of a defined instrument: the permanent, integrated working team of surgeons, theoretical surgeons, technical staff, and medical students. Hence the process and progress of decision support is determined by the effectiveness of these working groups.
