Abstract
In case of colon cancer, the technique of right laparoscopic hemicolectomy can be used with curative and palliative intention. The indication for laparoscopic colon resection for malignancy is similar to the open approach. However, the surgeon has to be aware of the general contraindication for laparoscopic surgery like multiple previous operations in the abdominal cavity. The laparoscopic oncological colon resection may not be considered in cases of T4 tumors with large masses or infiltration in neighboring organs.
