Rossi BWP, et al. - Researchers performed this retrospective study of 293 patients ≥ 80 years of age who had elective colorectal resection between January 2007 and January 2016 to examine the short- and long-term outcomes after elective laparoscopic surgery (LPS) in these colorectal cancer patients. LPS was performed on 110 patients and was associated with better overall and disease-free survival (DFS) vs open procedures. Patients undergoing LPS had a shorter postoperative length of stay and significantly lower 90-day mortality, in addition to requiring fewer post-operative blood transfusions.
