Between 1982 and 1990 724 patients aged between 85 and 102 years were hospitalized (average age: 88.7 years). Operations were performed on 482 of them (66.6%). The surgical mortality amounted to 16.8%. The mortality in conjunction with emergency operation was as high as 28.2%, or as low as 11.4% in the context of elective operations. X-ray findings recorded from heart and lung, and ECG provided reliable criteria for assessment of the surgical risk.
