Patients and methods Between 2005 and 2009, laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for cancer was performed in 9 patients. Results The average operative time was 168 min. The average hospital stay was 5.3 days. There was one conversion (11.1%) to an open procedure. There were no postoperative complications. All the patients remain so far with no signs of tumor recurrence. Conclusion Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for cancer in the hands of an experienced laparoscopic surgeon is a safe and efficient procedure.

Rectal cancer has somewhat distanced itself from colonic cancer as a different oncologic entity, due to differences in diagnosis and treatment. Several developments over the last years have improved screening, diagnostics, pre-operative therapy, surgical techniques and postoperative patient care. The multidisciplinary approach to rectal cancer, mainly through the cooperation of surgeons, oncologists and radiologists, seems to be one of the most important steps in the management of that disease.
