Abstract
Aim: Many laparoscopic techniques have been described for the treatment of right colon cancer. The purpose of this study is to communicate our experience in the totally laparoscopic treatment of right colon cancer and to report our short-term results in order to confirm the feasibility and safeness of this demanding procedure.
Material of Study: From November 2017 to April 2020, we performed 384 surgical operations for colorectal cancers, of these 81 have involved tumors of the right colon in urgent and elective conditions. Right hemicolectomies with a totally laparoscopic approach were performed, by the same surgical team, in 55 patients in elective surgery.
Results: During the study period we evaluated intra and postoperative complications in terms of: demographic data and preoperative clinical characteristics, intraoperative and postoperative outcomes (operative time, blood loss, conversion rate, surgical complications, hospitalization, readmission, and mortality), pathological outcomes.
Discussion: Our experience confirms that totally laparoscopic approach, with up to down dissection, for the treatment of right colon cancer, performed by expert surgeons is a safe and feasible technique.
Conclusion: This procedure allows the mesocolon excision with outstanding number of harvested lymph nodes ensuring low complications and better oncological cleaning.
