Retrospective, matched case-control study comparing the oncologic outcomes between laparoscopic surgery and open surgery in patients with right-sided colon cancer

Purpose The short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for right-sided colon cancer remain largely uninvestigated. This study was undertaken to compare the morbidity and mortality after either a laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRHC) or an open right hemicolectomy (ORHC) for this type of tumor.
