Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy in octogenarians has acceptable morbidity. Robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy may mitigate the increased risks associated with this procedure in older patients.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Geriatric Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) outcomes have improved, but the aging population and expanding use of robotic surgery necessitate further investigation.
  • Octogenarians represent a growing demographic undergoing complex surgical procedures like PD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the outcomes of octogenarians undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).
  • To evaluate whether robotic surgery offers an advantage in PD for octogenarian patients.

Main Methods:

  • Multi-institutional retrospective review of patients undergoing open or robotic PD (2007-2023).
  • Analysis of pre-, intra-, and post-operative outcomes.
  • Multivariable analysis (MVA) and propensity score matching (PSM) were employed.

Main Results:

  • Octogenarians (n=223) had higher comorbidity indices and prior surgeries compared to younger patients (n=1,952).
  • Univariate analysis showed higher complication rates (Clavien-Dindo grade) and 90-day mortality in octogenarians.
  • Multivariable analysis confirmed age >80 as a risk factor for major morbidity and mortality, while robotic PD was associated with decreased major morbidity.

Conclusions:

  • Pancreaticoduodenectomy in octogenarians is associated with increased but acceptable morbidity.
  • Robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) may help mitigate the elevated risks in this elderly population.
