Core Tip
Core Tip: Whether laparoscopic extended right colectomy should be performed in patients with malignant tumors located in the hepatic flexure and right-side transverse colon remains controversial mainly because of the lack of an understanding of lymph node metastasis in the gastrocolic ligament and doubts regarding the safety of the operation. No prospective studies assessed the possibility and safety of laparoscopic extended right colon resection. Although the sample size in this article was small, the cases were strictly screened and had a certain degree of representativeness, which can provide some insight to surgeons.
