Learning curve and safety of the implementation of laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision with intracorporeal anastomosis for right-sided colon cancer: results from a propensity score-matched study.

The learning curve of laparoscopic CME for RSCC can be achieved after 13 cases in centers with experience in advanced laparoscopic surgery and surgeons with familiarity with this technique. Its implementation within this setting seems to be as safe as performing a conventional right colectomy.
