title: [Indications for the surgical treatment of chronic nonspecific lung diseases in the elderly].
abstract: The observations of 37 elderly patients operated on for nonspecific pulmonary diseases have shown that surgery may be successfully used when there are no pronounced aged changes and the respiratory and cardiovascular systems are in satisfactory condition. The postopertive mortality rate equaled 10,8%. After pulmonectomy it was 5,5 times higher than afterportal resection of the lung.
