Surgical Approaches

There are three main surgical approaches for performing a right hemicolectomy:

Open Right Hemi-Colectomy
  • Incision: A midline or right paramedian incision is made to access the abdominal cavity for right hemicolectomy surgery.
  • Mobilization: The right colon is mobilized by dissecting the lateral peritoneal attachments in a hemicolectomy operation.
  • Vascular Control: The ileocolic, right colic, and right branches of the middle colic vessels are identified, ligated, and divided.
  • Resection: The affected segment of the colon is resected, especially in cases of right hemicolectomy in Ahmedabad.
  • Anastomosis: The ileum is anastomosed to the transverse colon, either in a hand-sewn or stapled fashion.
  • Closure: The abdominal cavity is inspected, hemostasis is achieved, and the incision is closed.
  • Direct visualization for complex cases.
  • Easier in cases with extensive adhesions.
Laparoscopic Right Hemi-Colectomy
  • Port Placement: Small incisions for camera and tools.
  • Insufflation: Abdomen inflated with CO2.
  • Resection & Extraction: Performed through small incisions.
  • Anastomosis: Intracorporeal or extracorporeal techniques.
  • Minimally invasive, smaller incisions.
  • Shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery.
Robotic-Assisted Right Hemi-Colectomy
  • Robotic Docking & 3D Visualization: Enhanced control for precision.
