[Characteristics of the course of gastroduodenal ulcer and its surgical treatment in elderly patients].
The authors analyze in detail the literature on the subject and the results of treatment of 234 patients over 60 years of age. It is confirmed that peptic ulcer in elderly and old-aged individuals has some specific features. The mortality rate after planned surgical interventions for gastric and duodenal ulcer in patients over 60 years was 5.0% and 3.9%, respectively. Emergency surgical interventions for complications of peptic ulcer at old age led to death in 44.4% and 50% of cases, respectively. It is concluded that the range of indications for planned and earlier surgical treatment of peptic ulcer in the elderly must be widened.
