ABSTRACT
Objective: This study aims to compare the short-term outcomes
of robotic right hemicolectomy for right-sided colon cancer to
those of conventional open right hemicolectomy.
Material and Method: Patients who underwent surgical treatment for right-sided colorectal cancer between 2020 and 2022
were included in the study. Patients had been divided into two
groups: Group 1, who underwent conventional surgery, and
Group 2, who underwent robotic surgery. Clinical data and preoperative findings of patients were compared between the groups.
Result: A total of 51 patients participated in our study. Group 1
consisted of 39 patients and Group 2 consisted of 12 patients.
The mean age was 60.7 vs. 62.3 (p=0.773). No conversions or intraoperative complications occurred. Extended right hemicolectomy was performed in 23.1% vs. 8.36% (p=0.083). The operation
time was longer in Group 2 (2.84 vs. 3.04, p=0.023). One patient in
Group 1 underwent reoperation for ileus during the postoperative
period. T3-stage tumors (48.7% vs. 50%, p=0.794) and N0 lymph
node metastasis (38.5% vs. 41.7%, p=0.827) were detected most
frequently. The total number of lymph nodes dissected was 37.2
vs. 41.9 (p=0.179). The number of malignant lymph nodes was
2.54 vs. 6.42 (p=0.881). The most common Clavien-Dindo score
was 1 in both groups (79.5% vs. 83.3%, p=0.339). The length of
stay was similar between the groups (6.38 vs. 5.92, p=0.156). Readmission occurred in 6 patients in Group 1, with reasons being
anastomotic leakage, ileus, and general condition disorder
