title: [Complications in middle age patients following gastric resection for cancer].
abstract: Postoperative complications in patients, aged over 55 years, with gastric cancer subjected to radical operations were analysed. The number of postoperative complications and mortality are increased with age. The main cause of the postoperative mortality is peritonitis, the second place is occupied by pneumonia, the third--by thrombectomy and acute cardiovascular insufficiency. Aged patients have tolerated gastrectomy and proximal resections but poorly.
