Abstract :
Aim– We aimed to evaluate the results of LC in elderly patients.
Method– It‘s a retrospective study conducted at Teerthanker Mahaveer Medical College & Research Center, Moradabad. Record of all patients who had undergone LC from Jan 2015 to Dec 2016 were retrieved & reviewed. 310 patients were included in study and were divided into two groups out of which 216 belonged to group A aged < 69 years & 94 belonged to group B aged >70 years subjected to LC on elective list.
Result– Out of 310 patients, 216 (69. 67%) belonged to group A and 94 (38.3%) belonged to group B. In our study there is no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in terms of conversion. Postoperative complication rates were 5.8% in patients <69 and 7.4% in patients >70; however, this difference was also not statistically significant. Mean hospital stay was 1.49±1.21 days in the group A and 2.60±1.84 in group B, which was statistically significant (P<0.01)
Conclusion– We concluded that laparoscopic cholecystectomy in elderly (>70years) patients is an unfailing approach that allows patients the benefits of minimally invasive surgery without further rising the risks of surgical procedure.
