Abstrakt: It is certainly true that an increase in the average life span has caused a greater percentage of elderly people to visit urological departments. From April 1989 to December 1996, 52 patients over 75 years underwent radical cystectomy and urinary diversion. The numerical analysis of our experience has highlighted the fact that in operated patients the incidence and mortality caused by cardiovascular diseases were no higher than those found in other people of the same age.
