[Biliary surgery on those over 70: an analysis of 109 cases].
109 patients older than seventy years of age and operated of gallstone disease in our service during a period of 4.5 years are presented. The average age of the series was 78.8 years, with a male/female (M/F) ratio of 1/1.6. 77% of the patients were admitted on an emergency basis due to a complication derived from the gallstone disease they were suffering. Only 39.8% of the patients were previously diagnosed of gallstone disease at the time of admission and 10% presented an associated surgical condition which was treated simultaneously. Overall morbidity of the series was 36%, with a mortality of 2 cases (1.9%).
