Brief summary

Laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision is a concept that using laparoscopic surgery technique to perform a resection for colon cancer. Besides, the segment of the colon containing the tumor, the resection area should include an intact mesocolon as an envelope to encase the possible route for metastasis. The routes include blood vessels, lymphatic drain and etc. Such hypothesis predicts better histopathological and higher oncological results which turns into better survival rate and better quality of life.

Interventions

laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision would be applied on randomized group of patients suffering colon cancer and possessing no marked surgical anti-indications. Lap.CME facilitaes medial approach to complete the procedure. CME and HMA are the two arms of the medial approach utilized.

PROCEDURED3-laparoscopic colectomy

D3-laparoscopic colectomy would be applied on randomized group of patients suffering colon cancer and possessing no marked surgical anti-indications.
