Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Geriatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology

Context:

  • Growing indications for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) across various surgical fields.
  • Advancements in multidisciplinary approaches enhance outcomes in hepatobiliary surgery.
  • Increasingly recognized importance of comorbidities in elderly patients undergoing major abdominal surgeries.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the expanding role of MIS in complex conditions like esophageal cancer.
  • To discuss the evolving criteria for surgical interventions in elderly patients.
  • To present sacral nerve stimulation as a viable treatment for fecal incontinence.

Summary:

  • Minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopy without age limits, are becoming standard for esophageal cancer and in elderly patients for pancreatic, hepatic, and colorectal procedures.
