No benefit of extended mesenteric resection with central vascular ligation in right-sided colon cancer.
Author
Summary, in English
The optimal extent of mesenteric resection in colon cancer surgery is not known. We have previously shown an increased mortality associated with wider mesenteric resection in right hemicolectomy. This study compares the short and long-term outcome in three variations of right hemicolectomy based on the position of the vascular ligature in the mesentery.
