The mortality and morbidity in 600 patients undergoing prostatectomy at a district general hospital are reviewed. Below the age of 70 years the operative mortality was 1% compared with an overall mortality of 2.3%. Cardiorespiratory disease accounted for the majority of deaths. The increase of postoperative stay due to complications may be reduced by lowering the complication rate and, in the long term, reducing pre-existing cardiorespiratory disease.
对一家地区综合医院600例接受前列腺切除术患者的死亡率和发病率进行了回顾。70岁以下患者的手术死亡率为1%，而总体死亡率为2.3%。心肺疾病是主要死因。通过降低并发症发生率，并从长远来看，减少术前已存在的心肺疾病，可以减少因并发症导致的术后住院时间增加。
