Laparoscopicvsopen extended right hemicolectomy for colon cancer

Abstract

LERH with D3 lymphadenectomy for colon cancer is a technically feasible and safe procedure, yielding comparable short-term oncologic outcomes to those of open surgery.

Open compared with laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision with central lymphadenectomy for colon cancer: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…No heterogeneity was found between the studies for overall survival, which ranged from 67% to 91%, and for disease‐free survival ( I 2 = 0). Meta‐analysis showed no significant difference between the two groups [HR = 1.20 (95% CI: 0.94–1.53); P = 0.14) in terms of overall survival. Four of the selected studies reported disease‐free survival.…”

“…Meta‐analysis showed no significant difference between the two groups [HR = 1.20 (95% CI: 0.94–1.53); P = 0.14) in terms of overall survival. Four of the selected studies reported disease‐free survival. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups [HR = 1.17 (95% CI: 0.95–1.44); P = 0.14] (Fig.…”

“…The long-term outcome was reported in seven studies [7,26,27,[29][30][31][32], two of which were multicentric. The median age of the patient was early to mid-60s with the exception of the study by Storli et al [30], in which the patients were in their early 70s.…”

“…Seven studies [6,[26][27][28][29][30]32] reported 30-day mortality. No significant difference was found between the open and laparoscopic techniques [OR = 2.16 (95% CI: 0.73-6.41); P = 0.16] (open, 0.8%; laparoscopic, 0.3%; Table 4).…”

“…Anastomotic leakage rates were reported in six studies [6,26,27,29,30,32]. The definition was not clearly given in any, even though there was no statistical heterogeneity.…”
