Transvaginal surgery vs standard laparoscopy for right colon removal
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical approaches for removing the right side of the colon in certain women with colon cancer or a high-risk pre-cancer. It aims to see whether the less invasive transvaginal approach can be done safely and work as well as standard laparoscopic surgery.

Who can take part
- You must agree to join and sign informed consent, and be willing to follow up with the study team.
- You must be a woman age 18 to 75, and you must have given birth before.
- Your diagnosis must be confirmed by colonoscopy biopsy as colon cancer (adenocarcinoma) or high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia.
- Your CT or MRI must show the tumor is 5 cm or smaller, with no spread to distant organs (no metastasis).
- You should be eligible for laparoscopic surgery and not need emergency surgery for blockage, perforation, or serious bleeding.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be under 30, and you must be planning to have a right hemicolectomy (right colon removal).

This trial compares two surgical approaches—keyhole surgery versus open surgery—for right colon cancer. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for patients needing planned (elective) tumor removal.
This trial compares a more complete surgery (removing the right colon and surrounding tissue more thoroughly) versus the usual right-colon surgery. It aims to see if the more thorough approach improves outcomes for people with non-metastatic right colon cancer.
This trial tests whether adding a special dye (indocyanine green) during surgery to remove right-sided colon cancer helps the surgeon see and remove more lymph nodes. The goal is to improve cancer removal without adding extra risks.
This trial compares two types of surgery for right-sided colon (bowel) cancer: CME versus the usual right hemicolectomy. It may help doctors learn which approach works better and may guide future treatment choices.
This trial compares two surgical ways of connecting the bowel during laparoscopic surgery to remove right-sided colon cancer. It may help find which approach lowers complications and improves recovery after the operation.
This trial tests whether robotic surgery is effective for treating right colon cancer. It is for adults who are eligible for robotic surgery and whose cancer has not spread beyond the colon.
