Anatomical dissection approaches in right hemicolectomy with complete mesocolic excision: characteristics of surgical outcomes from a systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis.
Multiple surgical approaches for colon cancer show comparable outcomes, giving surgeons flexibility in technique selection.
Several anatomical dissection approaches have been proposed for right hemicolectomy (RHC) with complete mesocolic excision (CME). Overall, the available evidence does not demonstrate clear superiority of any single approach, and further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.
