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.)
