title: [Current concepts of the treatment of cholelithiasis in aged patients].
abstract: Biliary lithiasis in elder patients is characterized by the physical defects usually present--therefore surgery is less mandated than endoscopic procedures or extra corporeal lithotripsy. However, if surgery is undertaken, then it should be carried out as completely as possible. In this paper, the authors emphasize the special aspects of its indications and technics--for more than any where else this surgery required perfection.
