We evaluated the data on 642 patients over 80 years of age who underwent general surgery within the preceding 10 years. Lethality in elective surgery was higher compared to younger patients and showed a threefold increase in emergency procedures. Preexisting co-diseases strongly determined survival, which emphasises the fact that a thorough preoperative risk-assessment is essential for elective surgery. Age itself is not a contraindication for elective surgery.
我们评估了642名80岁以上患者的数据，这些患者在过去10年内接受了普外科手术。与年轻患者相比，择期手术的死亡率更高，急诊手术的死亡率增加了两倍。术前存在的合并症对生存率有很大影响，这强调了一个事实，即全面的术前风险评估对于择期手术至关重要。年龄本身并不是择期手术的禁忌证。
