Abstract:
Although the required pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopic hernial repair means stress for the elderly, it does not affect them negatively from a clinical point of view. On the contrary, the patient profits by a low complication rate, a quick recovery and a shorter stay in hospital.
