Abstract

The efficacy and safety of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has not been yet studied in octogenarians in Greece. The present study reviewed records of all consecutive patients that underwent PD at the 4th Surgical Department of Attikon University Hospital (Athens, Greece) between January 1st, 2010 and December 31st, 2019. Differences between two age groups (group Y <80 years; group O >80 years) were analyzed. Study endpoints were length of stay, overall morbidity, 30‑day mortality and overall survival (OS). There were 198 patients in Group Y (mean age, 65 years) and 20 patients in Group O (mean age, 82 years). Octogenarians had worse American Society of Anesthesiology score (>2; 31.3 vs. 65%; P=0.018). Median stay was not significantly different between the two groups (14 days vs. 16 days; P=0.307), neither was the 30‑day mortality (6.1 vs. 5.0%; P>0.99). Median OS was similar between the two groups (35 months vs. 28 months; P=0.577). In a tertiary center in Greece, morbidity and mortality rates after PD were similar between the two groups. Patients should not be denied a PD, solely based on advanced age.
