PURPOSE: Studies have shown improved survival with increasing amounts of harvested lymph nodes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate two laparoscopic techniques to right colectomy, laparoscopic medial to lateral (MtL) approach and laparoscopic lateral to medial (LtM) approach, in patients undergoing a right colectomy for either endoscopically unresectable polyps or carcinoma and determine which technique offers the optimal lymph node harvest.
METHODS: Patients that underwent a laparoscopic right colectomy over a 5-year period were identified. Charts were reviewed with regards to demographics, surgical approach, length of stay (LOS) and number of lymph nodes harvested. Variables were statistically analyzed and outcomes compared between the two groups. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
RESULTS: Two hundred thirty-three patients underwent a laparoscopic right colectomy over a 5-year period for endoscopically unresectable polyps or carcinoma. Seventy-nine patients underwent a MtL approach and 154 patients underwent a LtM approach. When comparing the two groups, there were more females in the MtL group relative to the LtM group (78% vs 66%; p = 0.0015). When the outcome of number of lymph nodes harvested was examined, there was a significantly larger number of nodes harvested in the MtL (median = 24) approach compared to the LtM approach (median = 19; p = 0.0002). LOS was similar between the MtL and LtM group (median 4 days for both).
CONCLUSIONS: The laparoscopic MtL approach to right colectomy yields a larger lymph node harvest compared to the laparoscopic LtM approach.
