Abstract:

Objective To explore the clinical effect of laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer in the elderly. Method 100 elderly patients with colorectal cancer treated in Wujin Hospital Affiliated to Jiangsu University from December 2016 to March 2021 were selected as the research object. They were divided into control group (n=50) and study group (n=50) by different surgical methods. The patients in the control group were treated with traditional open surgery, and the patients in the study group were treated with laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer. The operation implementation, postoperative complications, quality of life and gastrointestinal function were compared between the two groups. Result The scores of postoperative quality of life in the two groups were significantly higher than those before intervention, and the scores of patients in the study group were higher than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05); the incidence of postoperative complications in the study group was 14.00%, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05); during the operation, the operation time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative exhaust time, postoperative hospital stay and resection length in the study group were significantly better than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05); the levels of motilin and gastrin in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion The clinical effect of laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer in elderly patients is better. It can effectively reduce the incidence of complications in elderly patients, with less trauma and higher safety. It is of positive significance to improve the quality of life of elderly patients with colorectal cancer.
