This protocol deals with right hemicolectomy for cancer grossing.

It is done for cancers in the cecum, right colon, and appendix. Right hemicolectomies are also commonly done for Crohn's disease; this is dealt with in a separate article.

It is very common.

Protocol

Protocol notes

  • The retroperitoneal margin in right hemicolectomies should be treated like the radial margin in total mesorectal excisions; it should be inked.[1] Involvement is a poor prognosticator.[2]
