[Surgery in aged patients: a study on 476 surgical cases].
The Authors report their experience from 1984 to 1989 with surgery in the elderly. Patients aged 75 years were considered as geriatric and entered the study. Mortality and morbidity rates were analysed in 476 cases operated. Pre-existent diseases were related to postoperative complications. The Authors conclude underlining the feasibility of geriatric surgery as well as the acceptable risk rate.
