Individualized Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) and physiological resilience in a 101-year-old patient undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a case report.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLaparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC)carries significant risks for extremely elderly patients(≥ 80 years of age).The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery(ERAS)protocol aims to mitigate surgical stress through optimized perioperative management, offering potential protection for this patient population. A 101-year-old female patient was admitted with "abdominal pain, chills, and fever for 9 hours," diagnosed with gallstones complicated by acute suppurative cholecystitis. She had multiple underlying conditions, including severe pulmonary hypertension and severe malnutrition, as well as a history of femoral head replacement surgery. METHODS AND
resultsAfter multidisciplinary team (MDT) evaluation, laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed with intraoperative hypobaric pneumoperitoneum (8-10 mmHg) to minimize cardiopulmonary impact. An individualized ERAS protocol was implemented perioperatively, including oral intake within 2 h postoperatively, ambulation within 36 h, and precise fluid and nutritional support. The patient recovered uneventfully without major complications and was discharged in good condition 10 days postoperatively. A 90-day follow-up showed that the patient's Activities of Daily Living (ADL) score improved from 35 to 80 points at discharge, successfully achieving baseline functional levels prior to illness, with no biliary-related complications.
conclusionThis case demonstrates that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe and feasible for strictly screened elderly patients with acute biliary emergencies under multidisciplinary collaboration and individualized ERAS management. Advanced age should not be an absolute contraindication for surgery. The core of clinical success lies in the precise assessment of patients' "physiological resilience" and the implementation of individualized ERAS pathway adjustments for the ultra-elderly population.
