Zusammenfassung:A statistical analysis was performed on 85 inpatients admitted to our Urological Department during the past 12 years. These patients were 80 years old or older at the time of admission. The age, chief complaint, primary disease, mode of operation, and duration of admission of these patients were evaluated. According to our classification of diseases, urological tumors were the highest in frequency (77 cases). Frequent diseases among urological tumors were benign prostatic hyperplasia (60 cases), and therefore transurethral resection of prostate was the most frequent surgery. This analysis indicated that operations on elderly patients can be done safely under nongeneral anesthesia unless the case is accompanied by serious complications
