Abstract
Patients 70 years of age and older tolerate limited pulmonary resection well but do not tolerate pneumonectomy well. Pulmonary resection in this age group should be as limited as is possible. Careful selection of patients, careful preoperative preparation and close postoperative supervision are necessary in handling aged patients whose reserves are limited.
