Abstract

Introduction: Complete mesocolic excision (CME) is generally accepted as state of the art in colon cancer surgery. However, the long-term impact of CME has not been systematically examined. Therefore cohort studies might be a possible way to clarify any differences between conventional resections and CME. Following bilateral cooperation between the Department of Surgery/University Hospital of Erlangen and the 1st Surgical Department of the General Hospital of Nikaia/Piraeus, including teaching activities for introduction of CME, a cohort study was performed, considering surgical quality criteria and clinical outcome.
