Potentially fatal complications for elderly patients after laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy
2014
Background
The safety of surgery for gastric cancer in the elderly has been shown previously. However, potentially fatal complications based on an established severity grading system were not well described, and associated risk factors have not been assessed. The present study sought to examine severity-dependent postoperative complications after laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) in elderly patients and risk factors of potentially fatal postoperative complications.
