Abstract

Background/aims: Emergency bowel operations are commonly performed in emergency units and carry high morbidity and mortality risk, particularly in elderly patients. The aim of the present study was to review the presentation, management and outcome of bowel emergencies in elderly patients. Methods: The records of 248 patients (91 females, 157 males) aged over 65 years, undergoing emergency bowel operation during a five-year period, were reviewed. Patient's age, sex, details of presentation, past medial history, presence of coexisting diseases, and type of surgical procedures were noted, and their effects I any unfavorable outcomes were all analyzed. Data were evaluated by using SPSS 9.0 for Windows statistical program. A p value less than 0.05 was accepted as significant. Results: Mean age was 72.5 years. There were 85 (34%) isolated small bowel emergencies (SBE) and 153 (62%) isolated large bowel emergencies (LBE). The most common disease in SBE was mesenteric ischemia in 67 (27%), followed by adhesions, 26 (10%). Malignant bowel disease in 59 (24%) and sigmoid volvulus in 43 (17%) accounted for the majority of LBE. Sixty-five percent (161) of patients presented with obstruction and 46 (19%) patients had bo-wel perforation. Malignant disease, volvulus and mesenteric ischemia carried high resection rates (82%, 78% and 76%, respectively). Overall morbidity and mortality rates were 42% (105) and 28% (70), respectively. Conclusions: Emergency bowel operations have poor outcome in the elderly. Nature and ex-tent of disease, presence of coexisting cardiopulmonary disease, late admission and presence of peritonitis significantly affect management and outcome of elderly patients with bowel emergencies.

Özet

Amaç: Acil barsak ameliyatları; acil servislerde sıklıkla uygulanan prosedürlerden birisi olup, yaşlılarda yüksek morbidite ve mortalite riski taşırlar. Yöntem: Beş yıllık bir dönemde acil barsak ameliyatı geçirmiş 65 ve daha yaşlı 91'i kadın 248 hastanın kayıtları retrospektif incelendi. Hastalara ait yaş, cinsiyet, başvuru özellikleri, anamnez, yandaş hastalık, yapılan ameliyat tipleri kaydedilerek, sonuçları etkileyen olumsuz faktörler analiz edildi. Sonuçlar SPSS 9.0 Windows istatistik programı ile değerlendirildi, p<0.05 değerler anlamlı olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama yaşı 72.5 idi. Olguların %34 (85)'ünde izole ince barsak hastalığı, %62 (153)'sini izole kalın barsak acilleri oluşturdu. En sık görülen acil ince barsak problemi akut mezenterik iskemi %27 (67) olup, bunu intestinal yapışıklıklar izledi. Malign barsak hastalıkları %24 (59) ve sigmoid volvulus %17 (43)'e sık görülen acil kalın barsak olgularıydı. Barsak obstrüksiyonlan %65 (161), barsak per-forasyonları %19 (46) olguda tesbit edildi. Malign barsak hastalıklarında, volvuluslarda ve mezenter iskemi olgularında yüksek rezeksiyon oranlan (sırasıyla %82, %78 ve %76) gözlendi. Postoperative komplikasyon oranı %42 (105), mortalité oranı ise %28 (70) bulundu. Sonuç: Yaşlılarda acil barsak ameliyatlarının prognozu iyi değildir. Hastalığın naturu, tutulum genişliği, yandaş kardiyopulmoner hastalık varlığı, geç başvuru ve peritonit varlığı olumsuz prognostik faktörlerdir.
