[Surgical therapy of bronchial carcinoma in old age].

Between 1972 and 1981 436 patients with lung cancer underwent thoracotomy. 84 (19.2%) patients were aged 70 or more. 58.3% of this age group were in the tumor stage pT1-T2N0M0. In 82.1% a lobectomy was favored. The postoperative lethality among these 84 elderly patients was 19% caused by cardial insufficiency (68.8%) or postoperative pneumonia (25%). As a result of the high postoperative lethality in the elderly patient limited lung resection may be applied more often.

[When must pulmonary tuberculosis be treated surgically even today?].

Out of 571 patients with a chest complaint 58 were operated on for TB of the lungs. The average age was 43. With the exception of 9 patients, who were suspected of having a primary carcinoma of the lung, the operation was basically carried out after unsuccessful antituberculostatic therapy. The need to operate has to take into account adequately not only the morphological and functional changes in the lungs but also the social circumstances of the patient. In 78,7% of operations resections of lung tissue were used. 66,7% lobectomies, 18,8% wedge dissections, 8,3% pneumectomies and 6,2% bilobectomies were carried out. There were no deaths after operations. Surgical therapy of TB of the lungs still plays an important part in the treatment of TB and its success is mainly dependent on the timing in accordance with the indication.

["Cold" thyroid nodules (author's transl)].

Out of 541 thyroid operations during the past 6 years 419 were selected on the basis of standardised histology and evaluated statistically. 31 carcinomas were found. In 246 cases there was a cold nodule in the scintigram and in 88 cases an inhomogenous distribution of activity. Both of them clearly influenced the indication for operation. There were 24 carcinomas among the cold nodules and 4 among the inhomogeneous activity distributions. 64.5% were follicular, 29% papillary and 3.2% mixed; thus differentiated carcinomas outnumbered the other forms. 26 patients with carcinoma had a bilateral thyroidectomy, of these 5 had carcinomatous involvement of both thyroid lobes.
