Is Robotic Complete Mesocolic Excision Feasible for Transverse Colon Cancer?
Summary of "Is Robotic Complete Mesocolic Excision Feasible for Transverse Colon Cancer?"
Laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision (CME) for transverse colon cancer is technically challenging. Robotic technology has been developed to reduce technical limitations of laparoscopy. Yet, no data are available on the role of robotic approach for CME of transverse colon cancer. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and short-term outcomes of robotic CME in this subset of colon cancer.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Colon
The segment of LARGE INTESTINE between the CECUM and the RECTUM. It includes the ASCENDING COLON; the TRANSVERSE COLON; the DESCENDING COLON; and the SIGMOID COLON.
Colon, Descending
The segment of LARGE INTESTINE between TRANSVERSE COLON and the SIGMOID COLON.
Colon, Transverse
The segment of LARGE INTESTINE between ASCENDING COLON and DESCENDING COLON. It passes from the RIGHT COLIC FLEXURE across the ABDOMEN, then turns sharply at the left colonic flexure into the descending colon.
Colectomy
Excision of a portion of the colon or of the whole colon. (Dorland, 28th ed)
Mesenteric Artery, Inferior
The artery supplying nearly all the left half of the transverse colon, the whole of the descending colon, the sigmoid colon, and the greater part of the rectum. It is smaller than the superior mesenteric artery (MESENTERIC ARTERY, SUPERIOR) and arises from the aorta above its bifurcation into the common iliac arteries.

Colorectal Cancer
Colon or Colorectal cancer is the growth of malignant polyps on the colon, bowel, anus and rectum. Growths in these locations can be benign, and removed by colonoscopy, but they have a risk of becoming malignant.
