Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Age is also associated with an increasing prevalence of gallstones. The disadvantages of "cold" surgery (longer hospital stay, higher cost, risk of disease recurrence in the interim, difficult surgery with more scar tissue due to repeated inflammation) have to be weighed against the high operative risk in the case of emergency surgery, leading to strict criteria for early cholecystectomy.
These criteria are rarely met in geriatric patients, who thus enter a hospital cycle whose impact on morbidity and mortality, as well as on loss of autonomy, has been demonstrated in this population. What's more, the deteriorating general condition of frail elderly patients means that a number of them end up being definitively rejected for surgery, despite an initial strategy of cold cholecystectomy.
