Core Tip
Core Tip: The technological improvements introducing the three-dimensional vision in laparoscopic systems provided some of the advantages of robotic platform; thus, 3D laparoscopic surgery has emerged as a competitive alternative to the robotic one. Recently, we compared robotic surgery and 3D laparoscopy for right colectomy with complete mesocolic excision and intra-corporeal anastomosis. Now, we undertook the present study with the aim to appraise our whole experience in the use of 3D laparoscopic system in right colectomy. In addition, we performed a meta-analysis in order to compare our results to the literature ones in the attempt to increase the statistical power and level of evidence.
