Non-surgical complications in oncological colorectal surgery: a comparison between open and laparoscopic techniques.

CONCLUSIONS: The data analysed shows a reduction of pulmonary and renal cardiac adverse events after laparoscopic oncological surgery, it has not come to a conclusion for rectal cancer. There is also an increase in adverse events related to the duration of the operating session, the male sex and the age ≥ 70 years, thus enhancing the hypothesis that elderly patients are actually the population who can ultimately benefit more of minimally invasive surgical techniques.
