Comparative StudySurgical and oncological outcomes after complete mesocolic excision in right-sided colon cancer compared with conventional surgery: a retrospective, single-institution study.
The aim of the study was whether complete mesocolic excision (CME) with central vascular ligation (CVL) is associated with a survival benefit compared with traditional procedure in right-sided colon cancer. ⋯ Surgical standardization of CME with CVL for right-sided colon cancer is associated with better staging and prognosis, particularly in UICC stage II and III. This study shows that CME is safe and reproducible with acceptable morbidity.
