“Top down no-touch” technique in robotic complete mesocolic excision for extended right hemicolectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis

ConclusionsThe top down technique appears to be useful in robotic CME for an extended right hemicolectomy. Early identification of the gastrocolic trunk and middle colic vessels via this technique may prevent inadvertent vascular injury at the mesenteric root of the transverse colon.
