In our hospital, patients with OSCCs that invade the airway or major blood vessels or accompanied by visceral metastasis are not indicated for surgery and therefore receive chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy alone.
An incompetent extensor mechanism associated with a displaced or comminuted fracture with a torn extensor retinaculum is indicated for surgery.
Surgical resection is the only possibly curative therapy; however, only 15 to 20% of pancreatic cancer is indicated for surgery with curative intent [1, 2].
The levels of lesions indicated for surgery were cervical spine (2; 18%) and lumbar spine (9; 82%).
The PDL-assisted enucleation LMS technique can be easily and effectively performed to treat hemorrhagic vocal polyps indicated for surgery.

Furthermore, when comparing survival of the patients in the present study to that in patients treated with radiotherapy alone (Steenland et al. 1999), the median survival is the same, thus indicating that undergoing surgery for treatment of metastatic bony lesions does not reduce life length compared to nonoperative treatment such as radiotherapy.
Recent data from literature suggest that after a stroke, surgery indicated for heart failure, uncontrolled infection, abscess, or persisting high emboli risk should not be delayed, provided that the patient is not comatose or has no severe deficit.
