Abdominal surgical emergencies in the elderly.

Matt Hendrickson1, Thomas R Naparst.

The evaluation of abdominal pain can be considerably more challenging in elderly patients. A higher likelihood of life-threatening pathology combined with a myriad of diagnostic pitfalls in this population mandate a more cautious approach with greater use of diagnostic resources and specialist consultation.
