ABSTRACT:
The aim of this study is to compare
morbidity, surgical treatment and post-operative complications in elderly
patients underwent surgery for advanced stage ovarian cancer, comparing to
younger patients. Data of patients underwent surgery at the Department of
Obstetrics and Gynecology of Cannizzaro Hospital (Catania) for advanced stage
(IIIC-IV) ovarian cancer were collected from January 2000 to December 2013.
Patients were stratified by age in two groups (I > 65 years and II χ2.
Statistical significance was defined as P NS).
In conclusion, elderly patients may tolerate well surgical procedures within
acceptable postoperative morbidity, a length of hospital stay and a need for
intensive care quite similar to that of younger patients.
