Abstract
Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in man and woman in the developed world. Laparoscopic right colectomy is the standard of care for right colon cancer. Since the first report on laparoscopic approach in 1991, the surgical technique has been improved and currently all procedure is performed intracorporeally. The ileo-colic anastomosis can be performed either intracorporeal and extracorporeal: the differences in clinical outcome, complications rate, hospital stay and quality of life between that two techniques are not still clear and a large number of studies has been published about that. According to most recent meta-analysis, intracorporeal anastomosis have showed better outcome in anastomotic leakage rate, surgical site infection rate, development of incisional hernia, postoperative pain and recovery of gastrointestinal function.
期刊介绍:
Colorectal cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in the developed world. Risk factors for colorectal cancer are on the rise in many countries; populations are aging, and obesity and diabetes are increasing. National screening programs are helping to detect cancer while it is still curable; however, colorectal cancer remains the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the USA and options are still limited for those with more advanced disease. Consequently, colorectal cancer is a major research priority for government, pharmaceutical companies and non-profit organizations. Research into diagnosis and optimum treatment of the disease is progressing rapidly, with new advances reported every day. Colorectal Cancer presents reviews, analysis and commentary. on all aspects of colorectal cancer.
