AIM: The aim of this study is to present our patients with laparoscopic right hemicolectomy due to cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between 2005 and 2009, laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for cancer was performed in 9 patients. RESULTS: The average operative time was 168 min. The average hospital stay was 5.3 days. There was one conversion (11.1%) to an open procedure. There were no postoperative complications. All the patients remain so far with no signs of tumor recurrence. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for cancer in the hands of an experienced laparoscopic surgeon is a safe and efficient procedure.
