Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with intracorporeal ileo-transverse anastomosis (review)

Abstract

Colon cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. The main treatment for localized colon cancer is surgery. Nowadays laparoscopic colectomies for colon cancer have advantages over open ones, as they provide better short-term results. There has been a continuous improvement in the technique of the operation, and due to the widespread use of laparoscopic stapling and cutting devices, intracorporeal anastomosis is becoming more and more accessible. This article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of various methods for the formation of ileo-transverse anastomosis in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy.
