Popis: The aim of this study was to compare short-term clinical outcomes of elective and emergency laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy. Between January 2005 and December 2009, 181 patients had laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy performed at our institute (148 elective and 33 emergency cases).
