Abstract:
With increase in the incidence of right colon cancer, the proportion of laparoscopic right colon resection is increasing. Though the advantage of laparoscopy in minimal invasiveness has been widely accepted, its procedure still possesses certain difficulty. In this article, we shared the experience of laparoscopic right colectomy, including entering the correct Toldt's place, management of ileocolic and middle colic vessels and the problems of D3 lymph node dissection. Basic surgical techniques and several difficulties are discussed here, which may be helpful for beginners.
