Comparative Study
[Is age a risk factor for laparoscopic colorectal surgery?].
The aims of this study were to evaluate the results of laparoscopic colorectal surgery in elderly patients and compare them with the results of open procedures. ⋯ On account of the lower incidence of post-operative complications, the laparoscopic approach should be indicated in colorectal surgery for geriatric patients.
