Abstract

In this article we describe the surgical technique of the Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME) with Central Vascular Ligation (CVL) during laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRH) with intracorporeal anastomosis, as performed in our current surgical practice. The preparation of the patient, the operating room, the position of the surgeons, equipment and trocar placement are described in detail. The procedure is divided into well-defined steps, and each one is meticulously described.
