Description

The purpose of this trial is to investigate whether minimally invasive right colectomies done with an intra-corporeal anastomosis result in quicker return of bowel function and earlier discharge. The primary endpoint of this study will be return of bowel function as measured by passage of flatus and bowel motions. The secondary endpoints will be inpatient length of stay, incision length, postoperative narcotic use, surgical site infection (superficial, deep and organ-space), perioperative morbidity and operating room charges.
