Summary

Cancer Colon is one of the major public health problems worldwide. Complete eradication of the tumor with no recurrence or residual masses is a challenge which faces all the surgeons and medical staff all over the world. A lot of techniques were used to ensure 100 % eradication of the tumor and to cure the patients from cancer. Total Mesocolic Excision with Central Vessel Ligation is one of the recent techniques used for colon cancer surgeries. Here in the research the investigators answer the question of how this technique is superior and more beneficial in complete eradication of the tumor than the conventional surgery for colon cancer

Conditions

• Cancer Colon

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Total Mesocolic Excision with Central Vessel Ligation	sharp dissection of the anatomical layers and the dissection of the visceral plane from the parietal one . In addition a central division of the feeding arteries at their origins is performed at the level of superior mesenteric artery for tumors of the right colon and at the level of inferior mesenteric artery or the aorta for tumors of the left colon .this allows for removal of the maximum number of lymph nodes possible.
PROCEDURE	conventional surgery of cancer colon	removal of the tumor with no ligation of the vessel centrally or removal of the whole mesocolon
