Abstract: Objective:To compare the clinical effect of laparoscopic-assisted radical right hemicolectomy and traditional laparotomy. Method:46 patients of receiving the laparoscopic-assisted radical right hemicolectomy from March 2013 to March 2015 in our hospital were reviewed. At the same time period, 41 patients of receiving the laparotomy were also observed. The treatment effect for two groups was compared. Result:The incision length and intraoperative blood loss for laparoscopic group was significantly better than that of laparotomy group (P＜0.05); the operation time for laparoscopic group was longer than that of laparotomy group (P＜0.05); the removed number of lymph nodes for two group was not significantly different (P＞0.05); the evacuation time, time of leaving bed and hospitalization time for laparoscopic group was better than that of laparotomy group (P＜0.05).Conclusion: Compared with the traditional laparotomy, the laparoscopic-assisted radical right hemicolectomy can guarantee the treatment effect, have smaller incision length, fewer blood loss, faster recovery and shorten the hospitalization time. It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
