Objective To explore the feasibility and application value of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) in elderly patients.Methods The clinical data of patients who underwent LPD from August 2016 to July 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were allocated into the elderly group (≥65 years old) and non-elderly group (<65 years old). The early surgical outcomes and postoperative complications of the two groups were compared.Results In this study, 69 cases of LPD were collected, including 42 cases in the elderly group and 27 cases in the non-elderly group. Compared with the non-elderly group, the proportion of patients complicated comorbidities was higher (P<0.05), albumin level was lower (P<0.05), and American Society of Anesthesiologists classification was higher (P<0.05) in the elderly group. There were no significant differences in the intraoperative conditions, postoperative recovery, and postoperative complications between the two groups (P>0.05), and there were no significant differences in the pathological results of postoperative malignant tumor between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusions For elderly patients with over 65 years old, LPD is a safe and feasible surgical procedure for clinical practice. Meanwhile, early surgical outcomes are satisfactory, postoperative complications are not increased, and tumor cure effect can be achieved.
