Factors Associated With Prolonged Operative Times in Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy and Its Association With Short-Term Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to investigate factors associated with prolonged operative time in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for colon cancer.

Methods

This was a retrospective review of patients with colon cancer who underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy between 2011 and 2021. Linear and binary logistic regression analyses were performed to determine factors associated with prolonged operative time. The association between longer operative times and complications and hospital stay was assessed.

Results

One hundred and ninety-seven patients (52.3% female; mean age: 68.8 ± 14.1 years) were included. Factors independently associated with operative time were male sex (β = 17.3, 95% CI: 2, 32.5; p = 0.026) and extended hemicolectomy (β = 67.7, 95% CI: 27.6, 107.9;
