[Surgical treatment of malignant colorectal neoplasms in the population over (our experience)].
The Authors examine a series of 95 operations in the Verona Surgical Clinic for colorectal carcinoma in patients aged above 75 and discuss the results obtained. The low mortality rate (2.95% for resections) and the acceptable incidence of morbidity confirm the validity of performing radical surgery for malignancies in very elderly patients, as is stressed in most of the relevant literature.
