    Complete mesocolic excision (CME) improves disease-free survival for right-sided colon cancer compared to conventional lymphadenectomy.

  • 2

    Robotic surgery offers technical advantages over laparoscopic surgery, but its benefits for colon cancer remain unclear due to anatomical challenges.

  • 3

    The cranial approach for robotic CME may reduce intraoperative organ damage, but its effectiveness compared to other approaches needs further evaluation.

  • 4

    This study compared perioperative outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic CME for right-sided colon cancer using propensity score matching.

  • 5

    The analysis included 80 patients and aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of robotic CME compared to laparoscopic CME.
