Résumé
During the last century, life expectancy has doubled. As a result, senior patients with cancer are more frequently referred for possible surgery. Pancreatic surgery is a complex surgery associated with significant postoperative morbidity. Surgical decision-making in the elderly population can be difficult because outcomes in the elderly are poorly defined. Our objective is to characterize differences in mortality and morbidity for pancreatic surgery in the elderly population.
