Outcomes of Minimally Invasive Urologic Surgery in the Elderly Patient Population
نویسندگان
چکیده
The elderly patient is generally counseled with caution regarding open surgical procedures because of the relatively high morbidity and mortality associated when compared with similar procedures in younger patients without comorbidities. However, there is an ever-increasing utilization of minimally invasive surgical approaches to urological conditions with demonstrable benefits over open surgery in all patient populations, irrespective of age. We explore and present the various applications of minimally invasive surgery in urology, looking at the outcomes and current trends specifically as it applies to urologic surgery in elderly patients.
