Prospective Study of Extended Robotic Right Hemicolectomy With Complete Mesocolic Excision for Cancer

A Single Center Prospective Study Comparing Robot-assisted and Open Operation With Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME) in Extended Right Colectomy for Colon Cancer in the Right Flexure and Transverse Colon

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

A single-center prospective study to elucidate whether extended robot-assisted right colectomy (e-RARC) performs as well as extended open right colectomy (e-ORC) in terms of specimen quality, and in addition, whether less postoperative morbidity and shorter length of stay (LOS) can be attained. Patients with colonic cancer near the right flexure or the oral part of the transverse colon will be compared excluding the most technically demanding and frail patients in both groups. A total of 40 patients undergoing e-RARC in a prospective series will be included and compared with 44 consecutive patients previously treated with e-ORC.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Suspected or verified colonic cancer visualized by colonoscopy and on CT in the anal part of the ascending colon, in the right flexure or in the oral 2/3 of the transverse colon - Patient is 18 years or older, legally competent and able to comprehend information and give consent - Tumor is UICC stage I-III on preop CT - Operation is elective Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Previous major open intraabdominal surgery - Ileus or other acute abdominal condition - CT scan with suspicion of T4 tumor - RITA score \> 3 (Preop risk and frailty score) - BMI \> 35 kg/m2 - Project surgeon not available Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
