[Minilaparotomy is a careful method in right colon tumor surgery].
In a series of 47 patients, right colon tumours were treated surgically with a minilaparotomy approach, entailing a skin incision of less than 10 centimetres. The procedure allows appropriate oncological management of the tumour, and is associated with a mild postoperative course and a rapid recovery and resumption of normal life. The short-term outcome in this series has been promising, and the minilaparotomy approach would thus appear to be an attractive alternative to traditional open surgery of the right colon.
