Summary:Introduction Adequate decision-making in elderly colorectal cancer patients requires accurate information regarding risks of treatment. We analysed the outcome and survival of colorectal resections in the oldest old (≥85 years). Methods An analysis of the 2011–2012 data from two large nationwide registries: the Dutch Surgical Colorectal Audit (DSCA), containing all colorectal cancer resections, and the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR), containing survival data for all newly diagnosed malignancies. Results The study included more than 1200 patients aged ≥85 years (DSCA n  = 1232, NCR n  = 1206). The postoperative complication rate was 41 % in the oldest old. The frequency of cardiopulmonary complications rose rapidly with age, from 11 % in those
