Abstract:
As an aging society,China has an increasing number of elderly patients (≥80 years).Given the characteristics of pancreatico-biliary diseases in elderly patients,therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (TERCP)has become the main approach for these patients.When TERCP is performed in elderly patients with pancreaticobiliary diseases,a more detailed strategy is needed in addition to active preoperative evaluation and emergency treatment of medical and surgical complications.TERCP provides a good therapy for elderly patients with pancreaticobiliary diseases,and it is simple,safe,and convenient.
