Cholecystectomy under epidural anesthesia in elderly patients with significant comorbid conditions

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical treatment of gallstone disease with open cholecystectomy under epidural anesthesia in elderly patients with significant comorbid conditions. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 80 consecutive elderly patients over 65 years of age with significant comorbid conditions who underwent open cholecytectomy under epidural anesthesia for the surgical treatment of gallstone disease between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2019, all performed by one surgeon. Results: Mean age was found 77 ± 16 years. Fifty of the patients (62.5%) were females. Forty-seven patients (58.75%) showed an American Society of Anesthesiologist Physical Status (ASA, PS) of 3. The most frequently associated comorbidity involved the cardiovascular system (46 patients, 57.5%). Surgical indications were acute cholecystitis (AC) in 37 patients (46.25%) and chronic cholecystitis in 32 patients (40%). Mean operation time was 55 ± 22 minutes. Hospital stay was mean 12 ± 5 days. Total complication rate was 38.75%, and pulmonary complication was the most frequently encountered (13.75%). 30-day mortality was seen in 5 patients (6.25%). Conclusion: In older, high-risk gallstone patients, an open cholecystectomy with epidural anesthesia may be recommended. For this patient population, the mortality and morbidity rates are acceptable.
