AbstractOlder people demonstrate a higher risk for the occurrence of peri- and postsurgical complications. A frequent risk factor for this is the prevalence of a status called "frailty". In general, this status can be reversed by adequate therapeutic and medical interventions. More, current evidence suggests that these measures, as part of a so-called prehabilitation, can reduce the risk for experiencing peri- and postsurgical complications and thus assist the rehabilitation process, increase quality of life, and avoid care dependency and a loss of autonomy of these patients. In this article, we describe the concept of prehabilitation, its options to adapt and design this new form of intervention, as well as presenting current evidence. An actual project and a case example on prehabilitation provide an example and outlook.Thieme. All rights reserved.
