    Minimally invasive surgery was performed in 42.3% of patients, with 89% undergoing laparoscopic and 11% robotic segmental colon resections.

  • 3

    No significant differences were found in demographic and tumor stage characteristics between patients undergoing open versus minimally invasive surgery.

  • 4

    Median operative time was shorter for minimally invasive surgery at 140 minutes compared to 157 minutes for open surgery, although not statistically significant.

  • 5

    Recovery outcomes favored minimally invasive surgery, indicating potential benefits in recovery despite ongoing debates about its role in transverse colon cancer treatment.
