“…Laparoscopic segmental colectomy is a well established surgical technique that, compared to traditional open colectomy, is characterized by less morbidity, less postoperative pain, a fast postoperative recovery and a short hospital stay, even though both methods are associated with the same radical surgery [7], [8]. However, although the short-term benefits of laparoscopy compared to conventional open surgery are now well recognized in the management of different colorectal diseases, this remains a controversial issue for the right-sided tumors [9], [10].…”

Among these, six trials obtained at least three “high risk of bias" marks [15][18], [20], [21], [23], [27], [28], of which five trials did not carry out intention-to-treat analyses.…”

[2949] This attains significance when the patient is a candidate for adjuvant chemotherapy at which time, a wound infection can delay institution of the chemotherapy.…”
