Brief Summary

Current evidence regarding the optimal surgical approach to potentially curable right colonic cancer is based on numerous, well designed randomised controlled clinical trials. Currently, eminence based opinion suggests that an alternative surgical technique, single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), may improve short and long term outcomes after minimally invasive right colonic resection. A true, prospective analysis comparing standard of care (laparoscopic right hemicolectomy) and this "new" therapy(SILS) has yet to be published. Having established the optimum treatment modality the minimally invasive approach to right colonic tumors the results will be communicated at national and international meetings.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

  • operative time

    The length of time taken to complete each procedure will be recorded

    Within 3 months of surgery

  • pain scores (visual analog scale)

    Pain scores will be calculated on day 1,2 and 3 post-operatively and on first clinic visit

    Within 90 days of surgery

  • cosmesis satisfaction

    within 1 year of surgery

  • Peri-operative complications will be recorded within 3 months of the index operation

    early morbidity- wound/respiratory / urinary sepsis, thromboembolic, cardiorespiratory, anastomotic leak, intra-abdominal abscess, reoperation

    within 3 months of surgery

  • Intravenous narcotic/ oral analgesic requirements

    Patients analgesic requirements will be calculated both in-hospital and after discharge records will be detailed at clinic visit

    Within 3 months of surgery

  • Resumption of intestinal function/ diet - Duration to discharge home - Return to normal activity

    Time to passage of flatus, bowel motion and dietary intake will be recorded while the patient is in hospital

    within 3 months of surgery

  • Duration to discharge home

    Time patient is in hospital will be recorded on discharge from the unit

    within 3 months of date of surgery

  • Return to normal activity/work

    The timeframe from surgery to resumption of normal activities of daily living and return to work will be determined at patients second clinic visit

    within 6 months of surgery

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Lymph node yield

    within 3 months of surgery

  • Conversion rate

    Within 3 months of surgery

  • 30 day mortality

    within 3 months of surgery

  • Cancer free survival

    5 years following the date of surgery

Study Arms (1)

Right Colectomy for colonic tumors

The group of patients enrolled will be patients with biopsy proven right colon tumors, both benign and malignant. These patients will then be subdivided into those having conventional laparoscopic right colectomy and SILS right colectomy

Procedure: Patients will be divided in two groups- those having right colectomy by standard laparoscopy and those having Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS)

Interventions

Patients will be divided into 2 arms- those with right colon tumors treated by conventional laparoscopic right colectomy and those having a Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS)

Right Colectomy for colonic tumors
