Aim: The aim of this work was to compare lymph node (LN) yield in patients operated on for right colon cancer (RCC) using a laparoscopic approach between those receiving an intracorporeal (ICA) or extracorporeal anastomosis (ECA).
Method: This is a retrospective multicentre study involving patients operated on for RCC in nine tertiary referral centres in Latin America during a 2-year period. The main comparative outcome between groups was the number of LNs harvested between groups.

Article Synopsis
- The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (diagnosed in individuals under 50) is on the rise globally, with distinct clinical and molecular characteristics compared to late-onset cases.
- Factors contributing to this increase may include diet, obesity, antibiotic use, and changes in gut microbiome, with most cases occurring sporadically rather than being genetically inherited.
- There is a need for tailored preventive and therapeutic approaches for early-onset colorectal cancer, as younger patients often present with more severe disease stages but similar outcomes to older patients after treatment.
