Özet: Aim: The influence of advanced age on the outcome of repeat resections performed for colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) is ill-defined. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of repeat resections performed for the recurrence of CLMs in younger (≤70 years) and elderly patients (70< years), and to define predictive factors of survival. Material and Method: A prospectively maintained database of a single center including 291 CLM patients between 1998 and 2019 was analyzed retrospectively. Short and long-term outcomes were compared among younger (n=99, 34%) and elderly (n=192, 66%) patient groups who were treated by repeat resections for CLM recurrence. Results: Although statistically not significant, analysis of different age groups (≤70, 70-75, 75-80, and 80< years) have given similar results in terms of 1, 3, and 5-year survival (p=0.143). Globally curative resection was validated as a determinant factor in the estimation of survival following resections performed for recurrences according to multivariate analysis (p<0.05). Conclusion: Repeat resections for the recurrence of CLMs in selected elderly patients are reliable with regards to similar survival outcomes achieved compared to their younger counterparts.
