Surgeons are increasingly being faced with the problem of treating elderly colon cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the feasibility of single-incision laparoscopic surgery for these patients.
Among 34 right colon cancer patients treated with single-incision laparoscopic surgery procedure between August 2010 and September 2011, 9 (26.5%) were aged 80 or over. The results of treatment in this elderly group were compared retrospectively with those in 10 younger colon cancer patients (age, 59 to 67 y; control group, 29.5%).
The sex distribution, body mass index, and the tumor location were similar between the groups. The elderly had a higher incidence of preoperative risk factors (77.7% vs. 40.0%; P=0.17). However, operative time and estimated blood loss were similar and postoperative complications had not occurred in both groups.
We believe that single-incision laparoscopic colectomy can be carried out safely in elderly patients with colon cancer.
外科医生越来越多地面临治疗老年结肠癌患者的问题。本研究的目的是阐明单孔腹腔镜手术治疗这些患者的可行性。
在2010年8月至2011年9月间接受单孔腹腔镜手术治疗的34例右半结肠癌患者中,9例(26.5%)年龄在80岁及以上。将该老年组的治疗结果与10例较年轻的结肠癌患者(年龄59至67岁;对照组,29.5%)的治疗结果进行回顾性比较。
两组之间的性别分布、体重指数和肿瘤位置相似。老年人术前危险因素的发生率较高(77.7%对40.0%;P = 0.17)。然而,手术时间和估计失血量相似,两组均未发生术后并发症。
我们认为,老年结肠癌患者可以安全地进行单孔腹腔镜结肠切除术。
