The aim of this study was to review the recent results of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in elderly patients compared with younger patients. Retrospective evaluation was carried out based on a prospective Institutional Review Board approved database of patients who underwent IPAA from 2001 to 2008. Patients aged ≥65 years were matched with a group of patients aged <65 years by gender, date of procedure, diagnosis and type of procedure performed. Preoperative and intra-operative data and early postoperative complications were obtained. Thirty-three patients (22 women), 32 with mucosal ulcerative colitis, were included in each group. The elderly group had a mean age of 68.7 years, body mass index of 27 kg/m, duration of disease of 17.4 years, high American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score and high incidence of comorbid conditions (87.9% had one or more). Dysplasia and carcinoma were the indication for the surgery in more than 50% of patients, followed by refractory disease (24.4%). The matched younger group had a mean age of 36.9 years, body mass index of 25.4 kg/m, shorter duration of disease (8.1 years; P = 0.001), lower ASA score ( P = 0.0001) and lower comorbidity (42.4%; P = 0.0002). Operative data were similar for both groups. The elderly group had a higher rate of rehospitalization for dehydration ( P = 0.02). Other medical complications (30 vs 27%) and surgical postoperative complications (33 vs 24%) were similar for both groups. The long-term function and complications were comparable for the groups. Elderly patients who underwent IPAA had more comorbid conditions than younger patients. Except for rehospitalization for dehydration, medical and surgical postoperative complications were not different in the two groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
