Abstract

AbstractComplete mesocolic excision (CME) with central vascular ligation is a relatively new technique in the surgical treatment of right-sided colon cancer. Although the technique was originally designed for open surgery, minimally invasive CME has quickly been embraced by colorectal surgeons. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery has some certain advantages over open and standard laparoscopic surgery, and is increasingly utilized in colorectal surgery. In this review, the technical aspects and outcomes of robotic-assisted laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision will be described.
