A systematic review and meta-analysis involving 420 patients revealed that preoperative navigation using CT reconstruction significantly reduced blood loss and operative time while increasing lymph node harvest during right colectomy with complete mesocolon excision. The analysis showed a marked decrease in blood loss (p=0.002) and operative time (p<0.00001) without increasing overall morbidity or hospital stay. These findings underscore the value of CT reconstruction in improving surgical outcomes for right colonic cancers.
