Both surgical approaches yield similar safety for colon cancer

A comparative analysis of the inferior approach (IA) versus medial approach (MA) in right-sided colon cancer surgery revealed no significant differences in postoperative complications or mortality between the two methods. In a study of 528 cases, safety was maintained across both approaches, with IA resulting in a significantly shorter hospital stay. Overall, both IA and MA are feasible options, allowing surgeons to choose based on personal preference while ensuring effective outcomes.
