Abstract

Background: Laparoscopic colon surgery has been currently accepted as an alternative to open surgery for colon cancer. the laparoscopic approach, also, has been shown to offer clear evidence of benefit when compared to open surgery.

Methods: From July 2013 to July 2016, patients admitted via the outpatient clinics of Menofia University Hospital for elective right hemicolectomy of proved malignancy of the cecum, ascending colon, and hepatic flexure of colon were evaluated for eligibility in this study.

Results: The study consisted of 22 patients; of them 13 were males (59.1%) and 9 were females (40.9%) patients, with a mean age of 43±9 years (range 25-70 years). mean operative time was 125±14 minutes (range 100-145 minutes). only four (4) intramuscular opioid injections were given as post-operative analgesia. clear fluids were started 48 hours after surgery and soft diet allowed after 72 hours. the mean length of hospital stay was 5.7 days. Only one male patient was converted to conventional surgery due to advanced tumor. two patients developed surgical site infection in the post-operative period that was mild and managed conservatively. there were no cases with intestinal leakage and mortality rate in 30 days postoperative follow up was zero.

Conclusions: Laparoscopic assisted right hemicolectomy is safe and feasible technique with a good learning curve
