The aim of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility, surgical, and oncologic outcomes of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with CME and CVL compared to open surgery.~Enrolled patients in the study were randomized to either laparoscopic or open right hemicolectomy with CME and central vascular ligation. The randomization process was performed using a closed envelope method which was withdrawn in the outpatient clinic by a nurse.~The primary outcome was the number of lymph nodes (LNs) harvested among both groups. Secondary outcomes included operative time, blood loss, postoperative complications, and hospital stay.
