We tend to see a few kiddies on Prof Goller's lists with various conditions. Orthopaedic oncological surgeries present a unique set of challenges for both surgeons and anaesthesiologists due to the complexity of the procedures, the specific needs of cancer patients, and the potential for perioperative complications. The goal of perioperative care is to ensure optimal outcomes by focusing on preoperative evaluation and preparation, intraoperative management, and postoperative monitoring and pain control.
