Researchers achieved national consensus on the optimal and standardized technique for minimally invasive right hemicolectomy (MIrh) in colon cancer. The study involved formulating consensus statements and conducting three rounds of the Delphi technique with 76 colorectal surgeons. The development and validation of a video-based competency assessment tool (CAT) for MIrh showed high consistency among surgeons, with an overall intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.923. This nationwide quality improvement project is an important step towards standardizing and optimizing MIrh procedures.
