Recovery After Open and Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy: A Comparison

Laparoscopic vs. Open Right Hemicolectomies: Short Term Outcomes within an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Programme

“…One death occurred following pneumonia, again in an ASA III patient. The overall anastomotic leak rate (2.9%) and 30-day mortality (2.9%) is comparable to larger series [39,40,3,34,41,35]. Both patients who had an anastomotic leak were re-operated and were eventually discharged home.…”

“…Both patients who had an anastomotic leak were re-operated and were eventually discharged home. The mean operating time for a laparoscopic procedure for 153 minutes compares well to other studies [39][40][41][42] Post-operatively a consultant or registrar would ensure the daily ERAS targets were being met. The consultants, whose data was included for this analysis, all had laparoscopic colorectal experience.…”

Is laparoscopic right colectomy more effective than open resection? A meta‐analysis of randomized and nonrandomized studies

“…In the report by Kahoker et al. [28], the surgical procedure was not actually described, but the approach was laparoscopic for the mobilization of the right colon and the vascular ligation, although the resection and the anastomosis were performed extracorporeally.…”

Enhanced recovery after surgery versus conventional care in colonic and rectal surgery

“…[1][2][3][4]9,[11][12][13][14][15][16] Meta-analyses pooling data from randomized and controlled clinical trials suggest enhanced recovery programmes reduce primary stay by 1.56-2.35 days and total stay by 2.46 days.
