Right colectomy refers to the resection of a portion of the distal ileum, cecum, ascending colon, and proximal to mid-transverse colon. Extended right hemicolectomy refers to extension of the distal resection margin to include the distal transverse colon up to the splenic flexure. The techniques used to perform right and extended right colectomy are reviewed here. Left colectomy is presented separately. (See Left colectomy: Open technique.)
Surgeries include full or partial removal (resection) of the colon or rectum; removal of the left or right side (hemicolectomy), the lower part (sigmoidectomy), or the upper part (cecectomy) of the colon; and attaching the colon to an opening (stoma) in the abdominal wall (colostomy).
