Introduction
Colon cancer is a highly prevalent disease worldwide, with approximately
15% of patients presenting with locally advanced tumors (T4 stage)
[1]. Resection of a T4 colon cancer
can be difficult if the tumor directly invades other organs or
structures (T4B stage) [2].
T4B hepatic flexures of colon cancer
most commonly invade the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas/duodenum, and
radical surgery is the only way to cure this
disease[3].
