Abstract

Background: Age is a critical factor influencing the death and morbidities afterward cholecystectomy. It was revealed that laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in the elderly has similar security and effectiveness to those in young people. The gold-standard in the management of cholelithiasis is LC. Objectives: This work was aimed to assess post-operative outcomes of LC between elderly cases and for comparing the post-operative outcome of LC among ages groups >60yrs and <60yrs. Patients and Methods: This prospective study conducted among 68 cases who experienced LC at Damanhur Medical National Institute Hospital. Cases were allocated into 2 groups according to ages: elderly (≥60yrs, n= 38) and young (<60 yrs, n= 35).  Results: 68 cases divided into two groups. The mean age is 68.4± 5.7 and 49.1± 10.5 among elderly and younger groups. There is significant difference between groups regarding age and comorbidities. The mean operative time was 62.8± 21.2 and 59.5± 18.7 among elderly and young groups. There is no statistically significant difference between two groups regarding intraoperative data. There is nonsignificant change regarding post-operative outcomes after LC.  Conclusion: It could be concluded that laparoscopic cholecystectomy in elderly cases is similar with young cases. Consequently, LC is secure even in the elderly.
