title: [Intra-and postoperative complications in pulmonary surgery (author's transl)].
abstract: The age of the patients, the causative diseases, and the extent of the surgical operation are decisive for the development of intraoperative and postoperative complications in pulmonary surgery. Restrictive and obstructive pulmonary changes of the older-age group involve the danger of postoperative complications. By our experience the critical age for pulmonary surgery is about 50 years.
