We had made the clinical observations on the aged patients (over 60 years old) in the Urology Department of Tokyo University Hospital during the period of 1945 to 1955 (Jap. J. Urol., 48, 205, 1957). Present report is the clinical observations after that, during the period of 1956 to 1964.
The pacentage of the aged patients among the out-patients has increased year by year. The aged in-patients during these 9 years were 636 cases, with the rate of 28.7 percent of the whole in-patients.
The examination findings on admission, operative morbidity and mortality of these patients, conditions on admission of mortal cases, urinary tract infections of the aged patients, and others, were statistically studied with special reference to the ageing.
It was observed that the physical disturbances on admission increased with the ageing as well as operative hazards.
