Abstract
Aims: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is considered to be the gold standard treatment of symptomatic cholelithiasis and acute cholecystitis. However, there is still a controversy about this approach in elderly patients. In some cases, surgeons tend to postpone the LC in elderly patients due to a higher risk of complications. This study evaluated the feasibility of LC in elderly patients, in a comparative approach with adult age patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients who were operated on with a diagnosis of cholelithiasis or acute cholecystitis at Samsun Training and Research Hospital, General Surgery Unit between December 2015 and December 2019. The patients were divided into two groups: adult age (
