[Elective simultaneous operations in elderly and senile urological patients]

Surgeons of Samara Regional Veterans' Hospital made elective-simultaneous operations in 229 presenile and senile patients. Surgery was performed in the urological department in 1995-2010. It is shown that over 12% patients of urological geriatric departments need elective situltaneous operations, of them 8.7% are mild, 78.6%--moderate and 12.7%--severe. The results of simultaneous operations in 133 patients and staged operations in 60 control patients (adenomectomy and Vinkelman) differed insignificantly (p > 0.05). Such achievement was realized due to advanced prophessional education of all medical personnel of the department, introduction of new techniques in examination and treatment: accurate definition of absolute and relative contraindications for simultaneous surgery, effective preoperative preparation, low-invasive operations, different variants of non-endotracheal anesthesia. In addition to a positive clinical effect, new technology of simultaneous operations reduces 2.3-fold economic costs vs staged surgery, improves significantly quality of life of the above patients.
