Abstract:
This review aims to analyze the current applications of open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and robotic surgery in the treatment of colorectal cancer, particularly in elderly patients.It compares the differences among these three surgical methods in terms of surgical indicators, as well as short-term and long-term outcomes.Studies have shown that laparoscopic surgery has become the standard treatment for colorectal cancer, resulting in fewer postoperative complications and faster recovery times.While robotic surgery offers advantages in surgical precision and maneuverability, it is associated with longer surgical times and higher costs.For elderly patients, laparoscopic surgery has demonstrated fewer surgical complications and shorter hospital stays, with no significant difference in long-term survival rates compared to open surgery.However, there is limited research on the application of robotic surgery in elderly patients.Future studies should involve larger-scale, multi-centre randomized controlled trials to provide higher-level evidence and scientific guidance for the individualized treatment of elderly colorectal cancer patients.
