Right colectomy is the removal of the ascending colon and one third of the transverse colon to treat benign as well as malignant diseases of the colon. Compared with traditional open surgery, laparoscopic colectomy has many more outstanding advantages and is increasingly being applied in medicine.

Laparoscopic ileostomy to the transverse colon is often performed when right colon tumors cannot be surgically removed due to various causes. In addition, surgery is also performed in cases of ileocecal tuberculosis or intestinal adhesions.
