Description
Summary:Background/Purpose The safety of laparoscopic liver resection in super‐elderly patients with comorbidities is unknown. We used propensity score matching to evaluate the utility and safety of laparoscopic liver resection in super‐elderly patients. Methods Two‐hundred and five patients who underwent laparoscopic liver resection were retrospectively reviewed. They were classified into two groups based on age: ≥80 years (elderly group, n = 49) and
