About this trial
Complete mesocolic excision is currently recognized as a standard procedure for colon cancer. Controversy remains on the presence of right gastroepiploic mesentery metastasis in patients with colon cancer locating at or close to the hepatic flexure. The investigators design this study in order to define the incidence of mesogastrium metastasis and analyse the safety and surgical outcome in these patients who undergo complete mesocolic excision with right gastroepiploic mesentery resection.
