laparoscopic, right hemicolectomy, mesenteric attachmentsAbstract
Laparoscopic Right hemicolectomy is a procedure that involves removing the cecum, the ascending colon, the hepatic flexure, the first third of the transverse colon, and part of the terminal ileum. Due to anatomic complexity, laparoscopic surgery for right colon cancer, especially hepatic flexure and transverse colon, is not an easy procedure. Some key steps are quite complicated procedures, so we would like to point out and explain the difficult sites of dissection during a right colectomy.
