A radiological and pathological assessment of ileocolic pedicle length as a predictor of lymph node retrieval following right hemicolectomy for caecal cancer
Conclusions
Based on these data, pathologic pedicle length is a determining factor in lymph node retrieval. Preoperative radiological calculation of pedicle length does not help predict the number of lymph nodes retrieved.
