Single-port versus multi-port laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer in elderly patients

Abstract: Abstract. The safety of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SLS) in elderly patients with colorectal cancer has not been established. The aim of the current study was to compare the outcomes of SLS and multi-port laparoscopic surgery (MLS) and to assess the feasibility of SLS in colorectal cancer patients aged ≥70 years. A retrospective case-control study of colon cancer patients undergoing elective surgical intervention between 2011 and 2014 was conducted. A total of 129 patients with colon cancer underwent… Show more

“…This study demonstrated that, in selected patients, acceptable outcomes could be achieved in nonagenarian patients. The postoperative mortality in this series was comparable to that previously reported in the literature [17]. The 30-day mortality rate after elective resections in the nonagenarian patients was comparable to that of the younger elderly population.…”

“…Li et al indicated SILS had less blood loss and longer operative time compared with our study. We think a surgeon could increase operative time due to variation of blood vessels in the right colon [ 20 ].…”

“…Although the median BMI in all patients was 27.6, which is somewhat high and indicates slight obesity, complications during surgery or due to the conversion to laparotomy were not observed, and we were able to safely perform surgery. Compared to the results that previously reported about laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancers, 16,17 all variables were similar and laparoscopic colorectal resection with 2 anastomotic sites were shown to be sufficiently safe and minimally invasive.…”
