The second surgical department of the Postgraduate Medical School conducted a 10-year analysis covering patients aged over 80. The results suggest that elective surgery is advisable even at this advanced age. A sound pre-operative diagnosis can help ensure that aged patients undergo an operation at the earliest possible date, the death rate from surgery carried out in a late acute stage being much higher. The authors take issue with the view -- still regarded as a dogma in the surgical world -- that the operation should be "minimal". They note that good results in "geriatric" surgery depend on good management and adequate pre-operative and post-operative observation.
The authors report two cases of rarely observed arteriovenous malformations of the external carotid artery treated surgically. The diagnostic problems and own observations and methods of surgical treatment of these malformations are discussed.
