SURGICAL TREATMENT OF COMPLICATED FORMS OF CHOLELITHIASIS IN ELDERLY AND SENILE PATIENTS (Literature Review)

Аннотация

Due to the development of natural involutive processes in elderly and senile patients, the adaptive capabilities of the organism itself also change, against which the clinic of the disease acquires new forms, asymptomatic or blurred clinical manifestations. The characteristic polymorbidity of diseases in the elderly makes doctors consider the presence of a whole “bouquet” of comorbidities as contraindications to performing certain surgical interventions. And, consequently, overestimation or underestimation of concomitant somatic pathology, the lack of targeted prevention of their complications leads to an increase in the number of complications, and, unfortunately, mortality rates.
