ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To compare the surgical outcomes of laparoscopic total gastrectomy between elderly and non-elderly patients. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Between 2008 and 2015, a total of 273 patients undergoing laparoscopic total gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma were divided into two age groups elderly (> or =70 years, n=71) vs. non-elderly ( or =70 years) was an independent risk factor (odds ratio=4.42, 95% confidence interval=1.50~13.01) for postoperative complications of grade III and above.CONCLUSIONS:
Elderly patients are more vulnerable to grade III and above complications after laparoscopic total gastrectomy than non-elderly patients. Great care should be taken to prevent and monitor the development of anastomosis leakage in elderly patients after laparoscopic total gastrectomy.
