About this trial
The primary aim of the study is to show that the ileo-colic anastomosis leakage rate until the first 30 days after surgery using MonoPlus® suture material for anastomosis construction after right hemicolectomy is not inferior to the anastomosis leakage rate published in the literature for totally handsewn or stapled-handsewn ileo-colic anastomosis.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers

Either complete hand-sewn anastomosis or partial sutured anastomosis (e.g. combination of stapling and suturing)
Open or laparoscopic as well as conversion from open to laparoscopic surgery
Absence of peritoneal carcinomatosis
Disqualifiers
Left hemicolectomy or left extended hemicolectomy or sigma resection
