Major abdominal surgery in octogenarians Saleh Abbas and Michael Booth Abstract Aims To evaluate long-term survival after major abdominal surgery in patients who are 80 years and over and to assess possible predictors of outcome: age, acute vs elective surgery, associated comorbidities and type of surgical procedure.
