Minimally Invasive Management of Acute Cholecystitis and Frailty Assessment in Geriatric Patients
SURGICAL LAPAROSCOPY ENDOSCOPY & PERCUTANEOUS TECHNIQUES(2022)
摘要
The aim was to compare laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) with the percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) for the management of acute lithiasic cholecystitis in geriatric patients and investigate the decision-making using frailty assessment. A retrospective analysis was performed in all patients aged over 65 years who were treated for acute cholecystitis at our hospital in a period of 5 years. Patients were divided in LC and PC groups. In total, 111 (54.1%) patients were subjected to LC and 94 (45.9%) to PC. The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) and the Clinical Frailty Score were lower for the LC group. However, for patients over 85 years of age, frailty scores between groups were not statistically different. Morbidity and mortality between groups were not statistically different. Both LC and PC are safe and efficient in geriatric patients. Frailty score may better drive the selection of patients to be managed laparoscopically.
