Objective To study the short-term and long-term clinical effects of laparoscopic radical resection and traditional open surgery in elderly patients with rectal cancer. Methods 100 elderly patients with rectal cancer treated in our hospital from February 2021 to February 2022 were taken as the subjects of the study. Then, the above patients were randomly divided into study group and control group. The former was treated with laparoscopic radical surgery, and the latter was treated with traditional open surgery. The surgical indicators and short-term and long-term effects of the two groups were evaluated to know the application effects of the two treatment methods. Results the amount of bleeding, time of exhaust, time of indwelling catheter and time of solid diet in the control group were higher than those in the study group (P < 0.05); The incidence of recent complications in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05), while the incidence of adhesive intestinal obstruction and incisional hernia in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion laparoscopic radical surgery is better than traditional open surgery in the treatment of elderly patients with rectal cancer.
