Laparoscopicvsopen partial colectomy in elderly patients: Insights from the American College of Surgeons - National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database

Abstract: Even after propensity score matching, elderly patients in the ACS NSQIP database having a laparoscopic partial colectomy had better outcomes than those having open colectomies. In the absence of specific contraindications, elderly patients requiring a partial colectomy should be offered the laparoscopic approach.

“…This may be because of a high incidence of comorbid diseases (such as lower albumin and hemoglobin, as our data in Table 1 showed), reduced functional reserve, and poor tolerance to stress, and laparoscopic surgery may improve perioperative recovery and be particularly beneficial in this patient population. 19 The short-term complications seriously affect perioperative recovery. And the short-term complications that impact patient outcomes mainly include POPF, PPH, and DGE.…”

“…Kannan et al also observed how post-operative complications on elderly patients who had undergone laparoscopic partial colectomy were significantly fewer than in those that had undergone open partial colectomy, including every subcategory (cardiac, pulmonary, renal, and infectious). Additionally, the LS group had lower rates of unplanned return to the operating room, their LOS was shorter and 30-day mortality was also significantly lower [ 29 ].…”

“…Therefore, it is suitable for high-risk patients, especially those with frailty and in the elderly. In recent years, laparoscopic surgery in such high-risk populations has been reported to have fewer complications and lower mortality rates compared with open laparotomy [3–5]. Meanwhile, in patients with low cardiac or pulmonary function, a pneumoperitoneum would exacerbate cardiopulmonary function by decreasing cardiac output and pulmonary compliance [6].…”
