Core Tip

Core Tip: This retrospective study compared the outcomes of total laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (TLRH) and laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy in right-sided colon cancer patients. TLRH demonstrated the advantages of reduced intraoperative bleeding, shorter hospital stays, and lower postoperative inflammation, while maintaining similar outcomes in lymph node dissection and complication rate. Additionally, no significant differences were observed in survival, recurrence, or metastasis rates over a 2-year follow-up period. The findings suggest that TLRH is a feasible approach that minimizes surgical trauma and enhances postoperative recovery.
