Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy With Transrectal Specimen Extraction for Colon Cancer
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the preliminary surgical outcomes of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with transrectal specimen extraction. The hypothesis is that this type of natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) could achieve good short-term and oncological outcomes for right colon cancer patients.
