Abstract

The concept of complete mesocolic excision(CME)in colon cancer surgery proposed by professor Hohenberger from German, has been accepted and valued by Chinese surgeons.However, how to determine the upper edge and medial edge of the complete mesocolic excision for right colon cancer(RCME), and which will be more consistent with the requirements of CME? Whether the D3 surgery(Hemicolectomy with D3 lymph node dissection)is a reasonable surgical approach to RCME or not? Are there other surgical approaches to the right colon cancer radical surgery which are more in line with the concept of CME? By comparing the author’s surgical approach to laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision for right colon cancer(L-RCME)with Mr.Hohenberger’s surgical method in CME, we investigate the rationality of surgical approach to the complete mesocolic excision for right colon cancer. Key words: Colonic neoplasms; Mesocolon; Laparoscopy
