Resumen

VICENTE MEDINA, Maribel L.  y  VICENTE DE LA CRUZ, Asbel A.. Comparative study of thoracic surgery in patients under and over 60. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2007, vol.46, n.4, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2945.

A comparative study was made at “Joaquín Albarrán Domínguez” and “General Calixto García Iñiguez” hospitals to compare the inmediate results of noncardiac thoracic surgery in patients under and over 60 in a period of 7 years (1996 to 2002). All the patients that underwent surgery due to noncardiac thoracic diseases were evaluated, and the preoperative, transoperative and postoperative behaviors, as well as the patient’s evolution and their state on discharge, were taken into consideration. It was found a predominance of  patients under 60 , among whom females prevailed; whereas those over 60 were mostly males. Generally, patients over 60 were healthier, since in this group, most of the patients had neither pathogical history nor risk factors. The diagnoses that led more frequently to surgery were lung  and esophagus cancer. Paradoxically, a higher percentage of complications and deaths was observed among patients under 60.

Palabras clave : Noncardiac thoracic surgery; patients over 60.
