Intracorporeal AnastomosisRight Colectomy with Intracorporeal AnastomosisParticipants will undergo either robotic-assisted or laparoscopic surgery with an intracorporeal anastomosis due to begin or malignant Right Colon Disease.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of incisional hernia at one year after index procedure.1 year

The primary endpoint of the study is the incidence of incisional hernia for intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomoses within one year after the right colectomy procedure. Incidence of incisional hernia either patient self-reported or clinical diagnosis will be assessed at one year after the right colectomy procedure.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to first flatus after index procedureup to 1 week after index procedure

The secondary endpoint of the study is time to first flatus for intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomoses after the right colectomy procedure. Time to first flatus is defined as days from a right colectomy procedure to first occurrence of flatus during subject's post-operative recovery.
