Abstract
Right hemicolectomy is a typical procedure that reverses the embryonic process by which organs are placed in their final positions. It also provides a valuable opportunity for us to view the top and undersides of the fused mesentery. This chapter describes a procedure of ascending colon cancer resection based on the concept of complete mesocolic excision with central vascular ligation proposed by Professor W. Hohenberger [12]. Standard operation time is 2 h.
