For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Eligible patients are those over 18 years of age who are regularly scheduled to undergo a right hemicolectomy via a minimally invasive approach (robotic or laparoscopic) with the creation of an anastomosis. Right colectomy will be defined as removal of the ascending colon, ligation of the ileocolic artery and vein, +/- removal of the terminal ileum, +/- removal of the proximal transverse colon, and +/- removal of the right branch of the middle colic artery and vein.
  • * Pregnant women
  • * Additional colon resection is planned (i.e. left colectomy or proctectomy)
  • * Vulnerable populations such as prisoners or adults unable to give consent
  • * If the scheduled surgery is planned at Butterworth hospital (as to standardize the nursing care received postoperatively)
  • * Emergent cases
  • * The procedure is converted to an open resection
  • * If a loop ileostomy is performed in addition to the right colectomy
