- Brief Summary
Right colectomy (hemicolectomy) involves the removal of the cecum, the ascending colon, the hepatic flexure, the first one-third of the transverse colon, part of the terminal ileum, and the associated regional fat and lymph nodes, and is the accepted treatment for malignant neoplasms of the right colon.
A minimally invasive approach is commonly used for right colectomy, with studies reporting reduced complications, less blood loss, and hospital stay when compared to an open approach.
However, there remains controversy regarding whether robotic assistance is advantageous for this technique and whether an intracorporeal (ICA) or extracorporeal anastomosis (ECA) is best.
MIRCAST is a prospective, observational, international, multi-center, 4-parallel-cohorts study. Sites or surgeons will select a cohort of the study for which they are qualified. Four cohorts will be the subject of study:
1. Robotic Right Colectomy with ICA
2. Robotic Right Colectomy with ECA
3. Laparoscopic Right Colectomy with ICA
4. Laparoscopic Right Colectomy with ECA
All patient assessments will be done according to the sites standard of care. Parameters routinely recorded during right colectomy surgery will be collected prospectively. Enrolled subjects will undergo assessments at the following intervals: pre-operative, operative, discharge, 30 days, 3 months, 1 year and 2 years post-surgery.
- Detailed Description
MIRCAST study is an observational, prospective, parallel cohorts, international, multi-center to compare robotic assisted and laparoscopic minimally invasive right colectomy, and intracorporeal anastomosis versus extracorporeal anastomosis.
The research is coordinated by Marcos Gómez Ruiz MD PhD from Hospital Universitario Marqués de Valdecilla in Santander, Spain; the sponsorship is performed by Fundacion Instituto de Investigación Marqués de Valdecilla (IDIVAL). The European Society of Coloproctology (ESCP) endorses MIRCAST Study and will run a quality audit/independent monitoring of the study.
The objectives of study are to compare of the peri-operative complications after robotic assisted and laparoscopic minimally invasive right colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis versus extracorporeal anastomosis.
To Identify potential benefits of robotic assisted procedures for right colon resections.

Group Intervention Description Laparoscopic Right Colectomy with ECA Extracorporeal Anastomosis Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive surgery (MIS), or keyhole surgery, is a surgical technique in which operations are performed far from their location through small incisions (usually 0.5-1.5 cm) elsewhere in the body. Extracorporeal anastomosis: when the anastomosis is performed by pulling out the bowel through a laparotomy wherever that laparotomy is performed. Robotic Right Colectomy with ECA Extracorporeal Anastomosis Robot-assisted surgery (RAS), allows many types of complex MIS procedures using robotic systems to aid in surgical procedures providing more precision, flexibility and control than is possible with other MIS techniques. Extracorporeal anastomosis: when the anastomosis is performed by pulling out the bowel through a laparotomy wherever that laparotomy is performed.

Robotic Right Colectomy with ICA Intracorporeal Anastomosis Robot-assisted surgery (RAS), allows many types of complex MIS procedures using robotic systems to aid in surgical procedures providing more precision, flexibility and control than is possible with other MIS techniques. Intracorporeal anastomosis: when the anastomosis is performed inside the abdominal cavity with a laparoscopic or robotic technique. A Pfannenstiel incision will be done exclusively for specimen extraction.

Name Time Method Surgical wound infection 30 days (CDC definition \[Health Protection Agency. Surveillance of Surgical Site Infection in England: October 1997-September 2005. London: Health Protection Agency; 2006): Superficial incisional, affecting the skin and subcutaneous tissue. These infections may be indicated by localised (Celsian) signs such as redness, pain, heat or swelling at the site of the incision or by the drainage of pus.

- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall Survival 2 years The length of time from either the date of diagnosis or the start of treatment for a disease, such as cancer, that patients diagnosed with the disease are still alive
Disease Free Survival (DFS) 2 years Length of time after primary treatment for a cancer ends that the patient survives without any signs or symptoms of that cancer.
