ABSTRACT

Given the physiological changes that occur with aging, the problem of the retirement of a surgeon who reaches the third age arises. The factors that must be known regarding this change are: the knowledge of what the burnout syndrome is, the consequences with the appearance of disabilities, the circumstances that may favor the risk of suicide and the importance of self-health care. We analyze the stress factors in a surgeon’s life and how to deal with them. The position of the American College of Surgeons regarding the problems faced by the aging surgeon is described. The factors of «when» a surgeon should retire and the different scenarios and retirement options are discussed. A strategic planning model for retirement is proposed. The «X commandments of the surgeon’s retirement» are mentioned. This event must occur with respect and dignity.
