This video shows how to perform laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision, with radical lymphadenectomy, in patients with right colon cancer. Following description of the surgical anatomy, all essential components of the procedure are clearly explained, including patient presentation, medial to lateral dissection, central vascular ligation, and extracorporeal anastomosis. Viewers will learn how to perform surgery along the embryological plane and how to avoid damage to the blood vessels, bearing in mind the high chance of aberrant branches. Particular attention is drawn to the variation in the gastrocolic trunk of Henle and relevant vascular branches. The video will be an ideal aid to safe and effective performance of the procedure.
