P Melita, and L Calbo, and R Palmeri, and S Gorgone, and N A Belnome, and S Lazzara, and F P Pergolizzi

The authors, after reporting the data concerning the increase of the average length of life and the increment of the population in geriatric age, studied the different aspects of the surgical risk. They consider the age, the existence or absence of associated diseases, the situation of the different organs or apparatuses, and the possibility to correct, in preoperative stage, the different functional unbalances remarked. At last, after confirming the conception whereby age for itself does not represent a specific factor of risk, they emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary cooperation in the assistance to old patients, both during intervention and in the postoperative course.
