Abstract
Aim: Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME) consists of the complete removal of tumor-bearing soft tissues enveloped by the mesocolic fascia and radical lymphadenectomy at the origin of feeding vessels. We conducted a systematic review, evaluating the efficacy of the Robotic CME (RCME) in patients with right-sided colon cancer and we attempted a comparison it to the gold standard procedure, the open RC with CME. Method: MEDLINE-PubMed, Cochrane Library, UpToDate, and Trip databases were searched for published and unpublished material. Results: Twenty articles were found to refer in CME, 9 of which met the selection criteria following the PRISMA Guidelines. All researchers presented short-term outcomes and agreed on the oncologic safety of CME. Conclusion: Since current studies on the RCME do not provide long-term oncologic results, more data are needed to establish it as a standard of care in the surgical treatment of right sided colon cancer.
