Tailored lymph node dissection in right hemicolectomy: a retrospective study focusing on the anterior tissue of the superior mesenteric vein surgical trunk
Right hemicolectomy with extended lymph node dissection improves lymph node retrieval but increases complication risks and prolongs bowel recovery time. For patients with tumors located below the ICV root, a more limited dissection with the right side of the SMV as the medial boundary may be a preferable option, given the low rate of main lymph node metastasis.
