It is also not cost effective and the unused operation capacity could have been used on other patients. On the other hand, surgery and general anaesthesia will put unwanted physiological strain on a patient fighting an on-going infection. Preoperative fever therefore poses a dilemma; to proceed with-, or to postpone the scheduled operation.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>We report a case where a 58-year-old woman, scheduled for prophylactic bilateral mastectomy and primary implant-based reconstruction, was postponed because of a temperature of 37.9\u00b0C. The morning of her new operation date, she developed a fever of 39.2\u00b0C which fell to 38.2\u00b0C shortly after administration of 0.25\u00a0mg triazolam. She was diagnosed with psychogenic fever, and we went through with the operation, even though the patient was febrile. The operation was successful, and she had no post-operative complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjab114","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,9]],"date-time":"2021-03-09T12:20:37Z","timestamp":1615292437000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Preoperative psychogenic fever: to operate or not to operate"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2021","author":[{"given":"Sondre F","family":"Koren","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery, Herlev and Gentofte Hospital, Copenhagen University, Herlev, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lilan E","family":"Engel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery, Herlev and Gentofte Hospital, Copenhagen University, Herlev, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael P","family":"M\u00f8ller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery, Herlev and Gentofte Hospital, Copenhagen University, Herlev, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021070811375297600_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"28","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2834.2004.00400.x","article-title":"Postponed or cancelled heart operations from the patient\u2019s perspective","volume":"12","author":"Ivarsson","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Nurs Manag"},{"key":"2021070811375297600_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"321","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjae.2020.04.006","article-title":"Anaesthesia, analgesia, and the surgical stress response","volume":"20","author":"Cusack","year":"2020","journal-title":"BJA Educ"},{"key":"2021070811375297600_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"99","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aat.2015.07.002","article-title":"Anesthesia, surgical stress, and \u201clong-term\u201d outcomes","volume":"53","author":"Iwasaki","year":"2015","journal-title":"Acta Anaesthesiol Taiwan"},{"key":"2021070811375297600_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"68","DOI":"10.4103\/1658-354X.169479","article-title":"Elective surgery cancelation on the day of surgery: an endless dilemma","volume":"10","author":"Fayed","year":"2016","journal-title":"Saudi J Anaesth"},{"key":"2021070811375297600_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"368","DOI":"10.1080\/23328940.2015.1056907","article-title":"Psychogenic fever: how psychological stress affects body temperature in the clinical population","volume":"2","author":"Oka","year":"2015","journal-title":"Temperature"},{"key":"2021070811375297600_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"37","DOI":"10.1016\/j.physbeh.2009.04.004","article-title":"Stress-induced hyperthermia and infection-induced fever: two of a kind?","volume":"98","author":"Vinkers","year":"2009","journal-title":"Physiol Behav"},{"key":"2021070811375297600_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"612","DOI":"10.5694\/j.1326-5377.2005.tb06846.x","article-title":"Cancellation of operations on the day of intended surgery at a major Australian referral hospital","volume":"182","author":"Schofield","year":"2005","journal-title":"Med J Aust"},{"key":"2021070811375297600_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cps.2008.08.007","article-title":"Capsular contracture: what is it?
