Systematic review of comparing single-incision versus conventional laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for right colon cancer.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Single-incision laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (SILS) has long used in surgery for a long time. However, there is barely a systemic review related to the comparison between the SILS and the conventional laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (CLS) for the right colon cancer in the long term follow-up.
