Objective: The incidence of colorectal cancer gradually increases with age. The fact that elderly patients have frequent comorbidities and limited functional reserve requires surgeons to choose the most optimal surgical method. The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and applicability of laparoscopic surgery in elderly colorectal cancer patients ≥70 years old. Material and Methods: The data of 153 patients, who underwent laparoscopic resection for colorectal cancer in our clinic in the period between January 2014 and January 2019, were retrospectively investigated. We divided patients into 2 groups by age; elderly patients (≥70 years old, 55 cases) and non-elderly patients (<70 years old, 98 cases). Patient characteristics, clinicopathological findings, surgical findings, short-term and long-term outcomes were compared between the age groups. Results: The rate of patients with high American Society of Anesthesiologists score (p<0.001) and the rate of comorbid diseases (87.3%) were found to be higher in the elderly group (p<0.001). There was no difference between the groups in terms of postoperative complications other than atelectasis (p=0.037). In-hospital mortality rates (p=0.423), re-operation rates (p=0.999), intensive care unit (p=0.741) and hospital stay (p=0.997) of the groups were similar. When the longterm results are examined, no statistically significant differences were found between the age groups in terms of overall survival (p=0.150) and disease-free survival (p=0.449). Conclusion: Laparoscopic surgery is a safe and applicable surgical method for elderly colorectal cancer patients in terms of both short and long term oncologic results.
