Technique and survival after laparoscopically assisted right hemicolectomy

Abstract: Our results show that laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for colon cancer can be performed safely. Complications and recurrence rates are comparable to those for left-sided laparoscopic and open procedures. Therefore, we recommend this procedure as the method of choice. Laparoscopically treated patients with stage II and stage III disease have almost the same cumulative rate of survival.

“…In obese patients, it is clear that laparoscopy is more technically demanding, but in our study body mass index was not associated with an increased conversion rate. In agreement with Sarli et al [9], as well as many other authors [2,7,10,12,[19][20][21][22][23][24], we failed to demonstrate a correlation between previous abdominal surgery and requirement for conversion to open surgery.…”

“…In the period of the LC, the condition induced to increase the surgical stress such as conversion or perioperative complication may contribute to DFS negatively. Also, considering the immunological effect, longer operation time in group II may affect DFS negatively [17,18]. Kang et al .…”

“…En cuanto al tiempo quirú rgico existen controversias, puesto que en la variante intracorpó rea 20,24 es mayor que en la extracorpó rea 25,26 , pero no es algo compartido por todos los autores, como en nuestro estudio, en el que no se han encontrado diferencias estadísticas entre ambos grupos. Fabozzi et al han demostrado recientemente que la variante intracorpó rea requiere de menos tiempo operatorio, menor necesidad de analgesia, y aporta una reinstauració n del trá nsito intestinal má s precoz, menos días de ingreso y menos complicaciones 16 .…”
