[Elective combined operations - the new problem of geriatric surgery].
Elective combined operations were performed at 228 (10.96%) geriatric patients (aged from 60 to 85 years, 75.3% male, 24.7% female). It is demonstrated that more than 10% patients at specialized geriatric surgical departments require elective simultaneous operations, 86.8% of them are the surgeries of light and middle severity degree. Mini-invasive technologies and differential approach to the anesthetic management choice permit to increase contingent of geriatric patients who can treated with elective simultaneous surgical procedures, that decreases cost in 1.8 times compared with staged surgical treatment and significantly improves life quality of these patients.
