Abstract
The aim of this study is to present our patients with laparoscopic right hemicolectomy due to cancer. Between 2005 and 2009, laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for cancer was performed in 9 patients. 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. Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for cancer in the hands of an experienced laparoscopic surgeon is a safe and efficient procedure.
