Abstract

[Objective] The aim of this study was to confirm the safety and economic benefits of laparoscopic-assisted colorectomy (LAC) in elderly patients with colorectal cancer.

[Methods] This propensity score-matched case-control study assessed patients aged ≥80 years with clinical stage I-III colorectal cancer over a 6-year period. The short-term outcomes of LAC and open colorectomy (OC) were compared.

[Results] Hospitalization was shorter (8 vs. 9 days), whereas freedom from complications (74.5% vs. 48.9%) and cost of hospitalization (441,194 vs. 476,410 yen) were better in the LAC than in the OC group.

[Conclusion] The short-term outcomes of colorectal cancer with low invasiveness were better with LAC than with OC.
