ABSTRACT
Between 1982 and 1989 hospitalized treatment was applied to 615 patients aged between 85 and 101 years. The average age was 88.8 years. Operations were performed on 406 of them (66.1%). The surgical lethality amounted 16.5%. The lethality in conjunction with emergency operation was as high as 30.8% or as low as 10.7% in the context of elective operations. X-ray findings recorded from heart and lung as well as ECG provided reliable criteria for assessment of the surgical risk.
