Because of continuous progression of age surgery of the aged has become a main problem especially in gastric surgery. 282 cases of more than 70 years old patients undergoing gastric operations between 1964 and 1981 are analyzed. There is a majority of emergency operations (62%), only 16% of the ulcer operations were elective. This caused a high mortality rate (total over 40%) compared with 10% in the elective group. Better results could be obtained by a higher elective rate, i.e. earlier diagnosis.
由于年龄的不断增长，老年患者的手术，尤其是胃部手术，已成为一个主要问题。本文分析了1964年至1981年间282例70岁以上接受胃部手术的患者。急诊手术占大多数（62%），只有16%的溃疡手术是择期手术。与择期手术组10%的死亡率相比，这导致了较高的死亡率（总死亡率超过40%）。通过提高择期手术率，即早期诊断，可以获得更好的治疗效果。
