Laparoscopic Right Colon Resection With Transvaginal Extraction: A Systematic Review of 90 Cases

Conclusions: Laparoscopic resection and transvaginal specimen extraction is a promising technique for some right-sided colon pathologies. For patient selection, an accessible vaginal port (patient acceptance and a vagina that is not narrow) and an en-mass lesion of ≤8 cm were necessary. Malignancy, previous abdominopelvic surgery, obesity, and old age were not considered as contraindications.
