Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy oriented by superior mesenteric artery for right colon cancer: efficacy evaluation with a match-controlled analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRC) with a principle of D3 lymphadenectomy seems to be appropriate in treatment of right-sided colon cancer (RCC). This study aimed to evaluate clinical efficacy of superior mesenteric artery (SMA)-guided LRC (SLRC) for RCC patients.

Patients and methods

Data for RCC patients with radical resection were retrieved from our database and electronic medical records (January 2010 to December 2014). Patients undergoing SLRC procedure were compared with those undergoing conventional laparoscopic right hemi-colectomy (CLRC), with a match ratio of 1:2 for group balance. Perioperative and long-term outcomes were compared between two groups.

Results

In sum, 102 matched patients were selected, with a median follow-up of 32 (range, 3-6
