title: [Total parenteral nutrition and evaluation of nutritional status for the identification of patients at high risk].
abstract: The importance of using standardised parameters in pre-operative patient assessment is emphasised. This will identify nutritional deficiencies that are often unrecognised but play a decisive part in the patients' post-operative course. Above all such an assessment enables the clinician to administer the appropriate restorative treatment especially in the elderly patient.
