Article Synopsis
- - The study discusses advancements in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy, emphasizing the importance of complete mesocolic excision (CME) and central vascular ligation (CVL) for colon cancer surgery, particularly based on findings from the CoDIG 1 and CoDIG 2 studies in Italy.
- - Researchers aimed to use machine learning techniques (MLTs) to accurately predict the postoperative length of stay (LoS) for patients undergoing this procedure, training algorithms like random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM) on large patient datasets.
- - Results showed that the RF algorithm achieved high accuracy in predicting longer stays, with key predictors identified, such as fast-track protocols and drainage, indicating that MLTs could
Background: There are few studies focused on the short-term results of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy performed with 2D (two-dimension) or 3D (three-dimension) video technology and none on the oncologic effects. The aim of the study was to assess the long-term results of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRH) with intracorporeal anastomosis using 3D or 2D video in patients with right colon cancer with at least three years of oncologic follow-up.
Methods: Data from patients undergoing laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRH) with intracorporeal anastomosis for cancer in an 11-year period (June 2008-June 2019) and ≥ 3 years of follow-up were prospectively collected.
Background: Internal hernia (IH) after laparoscopic colorectal surgery is a potentially severe complication. It may go undiagnosed in patients having their abdominal CT scan during oncologic follow-up. We evaluated the occurrence of IH on CT scans after laparoscopic curative resection for rectal cancer (LRRC) and routine closure of the mesenteric defect.

From January 2017, after the ileo-colic anastomosis was completed, an additional stapler cartridge was applied starting at the colonic rim and including the small bowel part of the anastomosis. The isoperistaltic fashion of the ileo-colonic anastomosis was maintained.

The aim of the study was to assess the short-term results of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LHR) with intracorporeal anastomosis with 2-D/3-D video in patients with right colon cancer.
Methods: Data from 239 patients undergoing LRH for cancer in a 14-year period (June 2005-January 2020) were prospectively collected.
