First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new surgical method for removing the splenic flexure during laparoscopic surgery for left-sided colorectal cancer. It compares the new technique (inferior mesenteric artery first with complete medial approach) to traditional methods. The goal is to see if it is safer and more effective, measured by the number of lymph nodes removed. The study will include 68 adults aged 18-70 with confirmed colorectal cancer.
