Abstract

Purpose: As the life expectancy increases, the population of elderly patients increases. We evaluated the complications and survival rate of patients over 80 years old, who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted for a total of 1,912 patients, who underwent surgery with stomach cancer from 2008 to 2016. We analyzed postoperative complications and the survival rate between the middle old (70~79, n=255) group and the very old (≥80, n=37) group.
Results: Among 1,912 patients, 255 people in the middle old group and 37 people within the very old group underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy. We confirmed that there was no significant difference except for the age (p<0.001) between the two groups. Overall complications were not statistically significantly different between the Middle old (70~79) group and the very old (≥80) group, 11.8% and 16.2%, respectively. There were also no statistically significant differences in severe complications beyond Clavien-Dindo classification Grade III. Risk factors for overall complications were higher in males than in females (p=0.002). Overall survival was statistically significantly lower with very old group (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Laparoscopic gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients over 80 years of age is feasible and safe in terms of complications. However, considering the life expectancy, it seems necessary to pay attention to the patients who apply surgery.
