To compare intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomoses for robotic-assisted and laparoscopic right colectomies

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective multicenter observational study to evaluate outcomes of intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomoses for robotic-assisted and laparoscopic right colectomies.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intracorporeal Anastomosis

Participants will undergo either robotic-assisted or laparoscopic surgery with an intracorporeal anastomosis due to begin or malignant Right Colon Disease.

Right Colectomy with Intracorporeal Anastomosis

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

With the patient under general anesthesia, pneumoperitoneum is achieved by a method of choice of the operating surgeon. Port Placement is completed as per the standard of care. Dissection is performed and the ileocolic vessels are identified. The right mesocolon is mobilized and the ileal mesentery is divided. The transverse colon and ileum are then divided with the stapler. Next, attention is turned to constructing the anastomosis. For this purpose, the terminal ileum and the transverse colon stump are brought together. A colotomy and ileostomy is created to form a common channel. The common enterotomy is then closed as per the surgeon's standard of care. The specimen is extracted through an off-midline incision (muscle splitting transverse incision, Pfannenstiel).

Extracorporeal Anastomosis

Participants will undergo either robotic-assisted or laparoscopic surgery with an extracorporeal anastomosis due to begin or malignant Right Colon Disease.

Right Colectomy with Extracorporeal Anastomosis

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

With the patient under general anesthesia, pneumoperitoneum is achieved by a method of choice of the operating surgeon. Port Placement is completed as per the standard of care. Dissection is performed and the ileocolic vessels are identified. Intracorporeal devascularization may be performed at the surgeon's discretion. The gastrocolic ligament is taken down and the hepatic flexure is mobilized. After complete mobilization of the right colon, the midline incision is extended to serve as the extraction site. The specimen is delivered through the midline extraction incision and the anastomosis is conducted in a standard open technique. The two cut ends of the bowels are aligned for extracorporeal anastomosis.
