Complete mesocolic excision for colon cancer is technically challenging but the most oncological appealing

Feasibility and Safety of Laparoscopic Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME) for Right-sided Colon Cancer

“…A recent meta-analysis by Wang et al [19] considered intraoperative blood loss and surgical complications as measures of CME safety, and concluded that CME was associated with significantly more adverse events than NCME. Many authors assigned intraoperative bleeding to vascular injuries during the central dissection of the superior mesenteric vessels and/or gastrocolic trunk [20,21]. Hohenberger et al [3] described a significant increase in cancer-related survival (82.1% to 89.1%) with the use of CME.…”

Is it time to define complete mesocolic excision as a standardized colon cancer surgery?

“…We appreciate that Negoi et al (1) agree with us on the oncological benefit of complete mesocolic excision (CME) in colon cancer, which is one of the primary objectives of our article (2) and the rationale to advocate the standardization and quality control of colon cancer surgery. The general view of colorectal surgeons is that introduction of total mesorectal excision results in revolutionary improvement in rectal cancer surgery, thereby improving prognosis (3).…”

“…Complete mesocolic excision for colon cancer has been shown to provide superior oncological outcomes and better survival advantage compared to standard resection [1][2][3]. Laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision for transverse colon cancer is technically challenging and carries the risk of serious complications.…”
