Abstract
Laparoscopic colon resections are currently becoming a standart method of surgical treatment of colon cancer. Long-term oncologic outcomes of such procedures are shown to be non-inferior to outcomes of traditional open surgery, while short-term results and morbidity profile are more favourable. The current direction of colon mini-invasive surgery development is to make procedures more easily tolerable by patients, using less traumatic methods and operative approaches. The article contains a review of one of such methods, which allows less traumatic performance of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy - an intracorporeal ileotransversoanastomosis. The current evidence concerning safety and efficacy are reviewed, when authors' own data are also brought to support implementation of this method into routine practice.
