About this study

Emergency laparotomy is associated with high postoperative morbidity and mortality. This risk is particularly high among elderly patients, who often present with reduced physiological reserve, frailty, and multimorbidity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a structured postoperative physiotherapy program in patients aged 65 years and older undergoing emergency laparotomy. The study will assess its impact on functional recovery and clinical outcomes.
