title: [The elderly and the risk of biliary surgery].
abstract: In a review of the results obtained in 5 years surgical treatment of elderly patients, the primary importance of performing elective operations on senile patients and building up such patients after careful assessment of nutritional parameters are emphasised. This reduces the risk of postoperative complications in patients who are mostly debilitated by concomitant conditions as well as presenting a reduced capacity for defence and organic recovery.
