Abstract
Introduction: Complete mesocolic excision (CME) is widely adopted for its assumed superior oncological outcome. However, it's unclear if all right-sided colon cancer patients benefit from CME. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate whether CME contributes to postoperative outcomes and to determine the surgical indications for CME.
Material and methods: We searched eligible articles about CME versus non-CME procedures for right-sided colon cancer in the OVID Medline, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL databases, and a meta-analysis was conducted.
Results: Twenty-two articles and seven abstracts involving 8088 patients were included in this study. Among them, 3803 underwent CME and 4285 non-CME procedures. The analysis showed that CME was favoured for three-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), for local, systemic, and total recurrence, and for hospital stay durations. However, increased vascular injury and longer surgery time were observed in CME. Regarding the three-year OS, the superiority of CME was observed only in Stage III. Additionally, no significant differences were observed between CME and non-CME groups regarding overall complications, 30-day readmission rates, reoperation, or postoperative mortality rates.
Conclusions: CME for right-sided colon cancer should be considered, particularly in Stage III patients, to contribute to improved oncological outcomes. However, careful attention must be paid to the increased risk of vascular injury.
期刊介绍:
Minimally Invasive Therapy and Allied Technologies (MITAT) is an international forum for endoscopic surgeons, interventional radiologists and industrial instrument manufacturers. It is the official journal of the Society for Medical Innovation and Technology (SMIT) whose membership includes representatives from a broad spectrum of medical specialities, instrument manufacturing and research. The journal brings the latest developments and innovations in minimally invasive therapy to its readers. What makes Minimally Invasive Therapy and Allied Technologies unique is that we publish one or two special issues each year, which are devoted to a specific theme. Key topics covered by the journal include: interventional radiology, endoscopic surgery, imaging technology, manipulators and robotics for surgery and education and training for MIS.
