First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study examined recovery in 1,000 adults aged 70 and older who had elective minimally invasive surgery. Researchers looked at how long patients stayed in the hospital and how many days they were alive and at home within 30 days after surgery. The goal is to identify factors that help or hinder recovery, so doctors can improve care for older surgical patients.
