RESUMO
Objective To evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of elder colorectal cancer patients.Methods Selected the retrospective or prospective studies which were retrieved in Pubmed,web of Science,Embase as laparoscopic,laparoscopic colectomy,colorectal cancer,rectal cancer,octogenarian,elderly published between Jan.2000 and May 2017.Data regarding operative indexes,postoperative complications and long term outcomes were analyzed by Stata12.0 software.Results A total of 18 articles,included 3 162 patients,were enrolled in this study.The Meta-analysis indicated that there were no significant differences of less blood loss,postoperative wound infection,bowel obstruction and cardiovascular complications in laparoscopic surgery group except the operative time (P ＜ 0.05).No significant difference was found in the number of dissected lymph node,pneumonia,overall survival and disease free survival (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion With advantages of rapid postoperative recovery and fewer complications,laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer in elderly patients is safe and effective.
