"The SPARCOL Study"

"The main surgical advantage in this procedure is the ability to view the colon intra- and extraluminal simultaneously. The laparoscopic approach enables manipulation and mobilization of the colon, while the endoscopic view secures that the resection is complete and not overlapping the ileac valve or creating stenosis.~Compared to the traditional oncological colon resection, the CELS resection is a minimally invasive procedure - organ sparing procedure leading to a reduced surgical stress response."

In this study standard resection of the colon will be performed according to complete mesocolic excision (CME) principles.
