老年患者的头颈部手术

Clin Geriatr Med. 1985 May;1(2):329-38.

While threatening in appearance, head and neck surgery is well tolerated by most elderly patients. Most surgery on the nose, sinuses, ears, and salivary glands is performed for benign conditions. Malignant disease is more common in the oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx.

尽管从外观上看具有一定威胁性，但大多数老年患者对头颈外科手术的耐受性良好。大多数针对鼻子、鼻窦、耳朵和唾液腺的手术是针对良性疾病进行的。恶性疾病在口腔、咽和喉中更为常见。
