RESUMO
São aqui abordados a incidência, a etiopatogenia e o risco cirúrgico de abdome agudo em idosos. A terapêutica cirúrgica deve considerar a ansiedade que invariavelmente acomete o idoso antes da cirurgia e a depressão, em grau variável, que pode advir no pós-operatório. A demora e a dificuldade no diagnóstico clinico repercutem negativamente sobre o tratamento cirúrgico tardio, que mantém taxa de óbito ainda elevada.
ABSTRACT
We revised the elderly population who suffered from acute abdomen, aiming for study and to achieve some practical results. The incidence, etiology and surgical risk were studied. The expected emergency anxiety, together with more anxiety, now regarding the future and depression, were also evaluated. The hard and slow clinical diagnosis may postpone surgical treatment, increasing the still high mortality rates.
