Risk factors for postoperative complications in laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgery for octogenarians with colorectal cancer: A multicenter retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Minimally invasive surgery for colorectal cancer is increasing globally. However, the safety in older patients have not been thoroughly examined.

Methods

Patients with colorectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic or robot-assisted surgery at Kyoto University Hospital and 18 affiliated institutions in Japan that participated in the Kyoto Colorectal Surgery Group between 2018 and 2023 were enrolled. Focusing on patients ≥80 y, we investigated the risk factors for postoperative complications.

Results

In total, 7303 patients were enrolled in this study. The mean age was 71 ± 11 y, with 1665 patients (22.8%) ≥80 y old. Older patients (≥80 y) had significantly higher ASA and ECOG-PS scores and more comorbidities including diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
