Abstract

Complete mesocolic excision for right-sided colon cancer yields larger specimens with higher lymph node harvest. This has caused a reduction in recurrence rates and improved survival. However, the technique remains controversial and has been associated with a higher risk of intraoperative complications. More recently published studies do not indicate that CME is associated with increased postoperative morbidity rates as summarised in this review. More detailed consensus regarding the use of the technique is needed, and future studies should aim for prospective confirmation of the current positive long-term results.
