Surgery In Elderly

It is certainly true that increase of the average life span has caused a greater percentage of elderly people to visit urological departments. From April 1989 to December 1991, patients over 75 years under our observation were 10.8% of all operated patients. Only 5% of patients over 75 who needed to be operated, weren't actually operated. The numerical analysis of our experience has highlighted the fact that in patients who underwent an operation, the incidence and mortality caused by cardiovascular diseases weren't any higher than those found in other people of the same age. We are also convinced that prejudices about age limits should not prevent the elderly afflicted with a benign or malignant urological pathology from undergoing an operation.
