Elderly AND colpoplexy,….
•Toglia MR et al. Morbidity and mortality rates of elective gynecologic
surgery in the elderly woman. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2003;189:1584-
7:
“Conclusion: Postoperative complications occurred infrequently
among elderly women who underwent gynecologic surgery.
Although age alone is not a contraindication to elective surgery,
there may be increased risks for geriatric women.”
•Parker DY, et al. Gynecological surgery in octogenarians and
nonagenarians. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2004;190:1401-3.
“Conclusion: Successful gynecologic surgical outcomes with
minimal morbidity are achievable in octogenarian patients and
nonagenarian patients with optimization of co-medical conditions
and careful perioperative treatment. Age should not be the sole
determinant in the decision-making process”
