title: [Geriatric gynecology. A contribution to geriatric gynecology with special reference to postoperative mortality].
abstract: A contribution to geriatric gynecology with special consideration of postoperative mortality. Almost imperceptibly, essential progress has been made within recent years in the field of surgical geriatric gynecology. The attempt was made, after enumerating the specific problems of geriatric gynecology, to deal systematically with surgical geriatric gynecology. From 1960 to 1969 in West-Berlin, 7151 major operations in 60-year-old women and older were performed in 17 gynecological hospitals. Complete records were available in 6658 cases. Evaluating them, we were able to substantiate effectively the clinical actuality of surgical geriatric gynecology as a component of geriatric gynecology.
