Abstract

Aim

The aim of this study is to present our patients with laparoscopic right hemicolectomy due to cancer.

Patients and methods

Between 2005 and 2009, laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for cancer was performed in 9 patients.

Results

The average operative time was 168 min. The average hospital stay was 5.3 days. There was one conversion (11.1%) to an open procedure. There were no postoperative complications. All the patients remain so far with no signs of tumor recurrence.

Conclusion

Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for cancer in the hands of an experienced laparoscopic surgeon is a safe and efficient procedure.
