The experience of 1560 combined operations performed in N.N.Burdenko clinic from 1974 to March 1999 for cholelithiasis is analysed. The results of 7461 cholecystectomies are analysed depending on patients' age (17.8% of patients aged 65 years and older), urgency of the operations (there were 35.6% of patients of this age group who underwent surgery under strictly urgent conditions), and complicacy of the operation (combined operations were carried out in 837 patients with cholecystitis). Last years in the clinic each 10th cholecystectomy is carried out as an additional procedure in more complicated surgery, or it is combined with less complicated one. Thus, in 389 patients with more complicated diseases than cholelithiasis (approximately in a half of them tumors of various locations were observed), cholecystectomy was performed as a combined procedure (1st group), and in 448 patients (2nd group) it was the main procedure. In the 1st group 27% of patients were aged 65 years and older, the overwhelming majority of the operations were carried out by the same approach, mortality rate being 3.3%. In the 2nd group elderly patients made up 20.7%; 68.3% of patients were operated by two approaches, lethality rate being 0.2%. Thus, lethality after 837 combined operations made up 1.7%, total mortality rate after 7461 cholecystectomies made up 0.29%. |
