Laparoscopic Right Colectomy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Intracorporeal Versus Extracorporeal Anastomosis After Laparoscopic Right Colectomy
The short-term advantages of minimally invasive colon resection have been well established in
several randomized trials. A major factor in the development of morbidity is the surgical
stress response with subsequent increased demand on the patient's reserves and immune
competence. Although the advantage in term of stress response of laparoscopic surgery over
open surgery has been widely reported, little is known about the role of Intracorporeal
anastomosis.
In an attempt to evaluate the surgical stress response after totally laparoscopic right
colectomy a comparative study has been designed.
Two surgical procedures will be evaluated:
- Totally laparoscopic right colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis (Experimental
group)
- Laparoscopic assisted right colectomy with extracorporeal anastomosis (Control group).
