Abstract
In this chapter, we offer a step-by-step description of the standard technique for robot-assisted right hemicolectomy with intra-corporeal anastomosis, which is our preferred approach for patients with right colon cancer. The benefits of the technique include optimising the quality of the pathologic specimen and lymph node harvest, while minimizing the extent of colonic dissection, mobilisation, and mesenteric traction placed on the ileo-colic anastomosis compared to an extra-corporal anastomosis. This chapter is supplemented by a series of clinical images.
