125 cases of hernia, cholelithiasis, peptic and gastric ulcer, carcinoma of the stomach of stages III and IV were examined before operation and in the postoperative period. The peculiarity of the studied indices of energy metabolism was established in each group of patients. The authors believe, that the difinition of ATP level and of the erythrocytes energy charge can be used as one of criteria of patients' condition and of medicamental correction of metabolism.

Most operations on elderly patients are of an urgent nature. If time permits, measures to improve cardiac, respiratory and renal functions in the appropriate ways should be undertaken. During recovery from anesthesia careful but adequate sedation will reduce the risk of myocardial ischemia. Throughout the postoperative period constant encouragement of the older patient is particularly helpful.Transverse abdominal incisions and the frequent use of temporary gastrostomy are advocated.External hernia, hiatus hernia, peptic ulcer, carcinoma of the stomach, biliary disease, appendicits, intestinal obstruction, and carcinoma of the large intestine are discussed specifically, with special reference to the practical details of management in the elderly patient.

A trocar site hernia is a rare complication. We report a patient who had an abdominal wall mass at a previous trocar site after laparoscopic distal gastrectomy. It was diagnosed as omental herniation and fat necrosis. We conclude that patients with trocar site masses exhibiting fat density on a computed tomography scan could be followed up without surgery, and that fascial defects located at 10-mm or larger trocar sites should be closed whenever possible to prevent hernia formation.

Through the advent of surgical techniques and the improvement of laparoscopic tools including the ultrasonic activated scissor, laparoscopic gastrectomy has been increasingly used in far more cases of benign or malignant gastric lesions for the benefit of patients without compromising therapeutic outcomes. Even though possible complications provoked by the ultrasonic activated scissor can be prevented during the procedure with increasing advanced laparoscopic experience and supervision, unexpected late complications after the operations rarely occur. An extremely rare case of left incarcerated diaphragmatic hernia of the transverse colon developed in an 81-year-old female patient as a late complication, 8 months after laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy for gastric cancer, with laparoscopy successfully resumed and without the need to sacrifice any portion of the bowel.
