title: [Making a surgical decision: indications conference].
abstract: One of the most important parts of a surgeon's education is learning to develop an adequate system of indications for a surgical procedure. In medical structures with a "one department--one boss system" the indication conference lends itself well to this. The day prior to surgery all information on the particular patient are presented and there is an analysis of risk and benefit of the planned procedure and a discussion on the type of procedure. Prerequisites are the presentation of all relevant information and clarity in the decision-making process including an open discussion on the basis of objective facts.
