The absolute risk reduction of recurrence after complete mesocolic excision for right-sided colon cancer in our previous study was not biased by potentially undiagnosed disseminated disease at the time of surgery or non-specialist surgery, and was not solely caused by dissection in the mesocolic plane. Central vascular dissection with central lymphadenectomy seems a major factor for better oncological results.
