Is Complete Mesocolic Excision Technique Superior to Conventional Hemicolectomy Technique for Patients with Right-Sided Colon Cancer? Preliminary Findings from a Single-Center Retrospective Analysis

Aim: To evaluate the surgical and oncological outcomes of complete mesocolic excision versus conventional hemicolectomy in patients with rightsided colon cancer. Method: A total of 87 patients with stage I-III cancer disease who underwent conventional hemicolectomy (n=39) or complete mesocolic excis...

Description
Summary:Aim: To evaluate the surgical and oncological outcomes of complete mesocolic excision versus conventional hemicolectomy in patients with rightsided colon cancer. Method: A total of 87 patients with stage I-III cancer disease who underwent conventional hemicolectomy (n=39) or complete mesocolic excision (n=48) in a tertiary center were included. Data on patient demographics, tumor characteristics, treatment, and outcomes were assessed and compared between groups. Results: No significant difference was noted between conventional hemicolectomy and complete mesocolic excision groups in terms of patient and tumor characteristics, chemotherapy, surgical morbidity, recurrence rates and apical node metastasis rates. The median total (58.0 vs 31.0, p
