Abstract
536 patients from 60 to 84 years old, operated on for neurosurgical lesions, are evaluated with reference to post-operative mortality rate related to the type of pathology. 83 deaths (15.6%) occurred in this series. Mortality rate increases progressively with advancing age. It is outlined that the aged patients have lesser chances of surgical success, but the present data induce to consider with greater favour the outcome of these patients.File in questo prodotto:
