Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Monocentric, two-level factorial, parallel-arm, pilot randomized clinical trial, conducted comparing patients undergoing laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with ICA for right colon cancer in a single unit of a teaching hospital: Minimally Invasive Surgery Unit, Department of Surgical Sciences, Policlinico Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

FACTORIAL

Patients were initially randomized for postoperative management into three arms to receive prolonged antibiotic prophylaxis (ABX group), abdominal drain placement (DRAIN group) or neither (NONE group) (I level randomization). The same patients were further randomized for surgical technique in two arms to receive RRC (RRC group) or standard hemicolectomy with D2 dissection (STANDARD group) (II level of randomization).

Study Groups

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

Abdominal drainage

19 Fr abdominal drainage placed intraoperatevely in right paracolic gutter

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

abdominal drainage

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

19 Fr abdominal drainage placed intraoperatively in right colic gutter

Laparoscopic radical right colectomy with CME and D3 lymphadenectomy (RRC)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

the dissection starts over the landmark given by SMV. The SMV is freed anteriorly and on its right-hand side from all the lympho-adipose tissue. Once the SMV is fully exposed, the IC vessels are dissected and divided at the junction with the efferent vessels. The dissection moves upward along the same dissection line to identify the right colic vein and the GCTH. No medial to later dissection is carried out until the SMV is completely exposed before reaching the uncinate process of the pancreas. At this point the veins to the right colon are divided but gastroepiploic vein and artery are preserved unless the tumor is located at the hepatic flexure. The divided mesentery is lifted and tilted to the right, and the medial-to-later dissection starts following the embryological plane over Fredet's fascia. The mesocolon is divided on the right side of the middle colic artery and the right branches of the middle colic vessels are divided.

Laparoscopic standard D2 right hemicolectomy (STANDARD)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A medial-to-lateral surgical dissection and high tie of the ileocolic vessels (IC) is undertaken without dissecting the anterior surface of the superior mesenteric vein (SMV). The gastro-colic trunk of Henle (GCTH) is not isolated and the right colic vein (when present) and the right branches of the middle colic vessels are taken more peripherical, during the division of the transverse mesocolon. The right gastroepiploic vessels are not dissected, nor divided, unless in proximity of the tumor

Postoperative antibiotico-prophylaxis

postoperative antibiotico-prophylaxis with Ceftriaxone 2gr and Metronidazole 1.5gr

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Postoperative antibiotico-prophylaxis

Intervention Type DRUG

Ceftriaxone 2 gr and Metronidazole 1.5 gr per day for 2 days postoperatively
