Robotic right colectomy with complete mesocolic excision, central vascular ligation and hand-sewn intracorporeal anastomosis: feasibility, safety, and learning curve analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Robotic right colectomy (RRC) with complete mesocolic excision (CME) and central vascular ligation (CVL) has become a standard oncologic approach for right-sided colon cancer. However, evidence regarding hand-sewn intracorporeal anastomosis (ICA) and its associated learning curve remains limited.

Methods

This single-center retrospective study analyzes a series of consecutive patients with histologically confirmed right-sided colon adenocarcinoma who underwent fully robotic RRC with CME, CVL, and hand-sewn ICA. Perioperative outcomes, pathological results, and the learning curves of three colorectal surgeons were evaluated using cumulative sum (CUSUM) and risk-adjusted CUSUM (RA-CUSUM) methods.

Results

Overall, 71 patients were treated by RRC from April 2021
