Total intracorporeal anastomosis for right hemicolectomy: Experience from a Canadian center.

Background: Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRHC) techniques have varied in the approach to anastomosis. We compared outcomes of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with extracorporeal anastomosis (ECA) versus intracorporeal anastomosis (ICA).

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all LRHCs conducted at Richmond Hospital between January 2015 and October 2017.
