Laparoscopic Versus Open Right Colectomy for Right Colon Cancer
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Colon Cancer
In brief
The purpose of this research protocol is to compare open versus laparoscopic right colectomy (according to the CME technique of complete mesocolic excision) for right colon cancer. This study will be designed as a prospective randomized controlled trial. The comparison of the two techniques will include endpoints regarding the quality characteristics of the specimens and the oncological results. In addition, the effectiveness of the two methods will be evaluated in terms of the early and late postoperative period.
