[Surgical rehabilitation in patients aged 70 years and older with temporary intestinal stoma]
Abstract:
The article presents comparative analysis of the results of surgical rehabilitation in 276 patients with temporary intestinal stoma. The basic group of the analysis was composed of 51 persons (18.5%) more older than 70 years. The control group included 225 patients younger than 70 years. More serious operations connected with necessity to do the colorectal resection were carried out in the basic group more often than in control group (56.9% and 32.9% accordingly). Postoperative mortality was 1.9% in the basic group and 0.9% in the control group. Postoperative complications have arisen accordingly in 3 (5.8%) and 15 (6.7%) patients. The conclusion is drawn on comparability of results and necessity to expanse the indications for surgical rehabilitation for the patients of advanced age.
