About this trial

Robotic right hemicolectomy with intra-corporeal anastomosis may have better short-term recovery outcomes and decreased incidence of incisional hernia when compared to the laparoscopic actual standard of care, for similar safety outcomes.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adult patients requiring elective minimally invasive RHC for cT1-T3 Nx M0 cancer of the right colon (including cancer of the appendix, caecum, ascending colon and hepatic flexure).

Disqualifiers

Not scheduled for minimally invasive RHC (refuses surgery and/or planned open approach)

Emergency surgery

Hereditary colorectal cancer

Inflammatory bowel disease

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Secondary outcomes

1

Duration of surgery

Measured in minutes

Time frame

Number of patients who received blood and/or blood products transfusion

Time frame
From skin incision to skin closure, during index surgical procedure
4

Intra-operative complication

Number of patients who experienced a complication during the index surgery

Time frame
From skin incision to skin closure, during index surgical procedure
