The CME group was compared to a 2\u2009:\u20091 propensity score-matched non-CME group who had conventional laparoscopic right colectomy with D2 nodal dissection. Primary outcomes were total lymph node harvest and length of specimen. Secondary outcomes were operative time, postoperative complications, and disease-free and overall survival.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study included 120 patients (40 in the CME group and 80 in the non-CME group). Lymph node yield was higher (29 versus 18, P\u2009=\u20090.006), the specimen length longer (322 versus 260 mm, P\u2009=\u20090.001) and median operative time was significantly longer (180 versus 130 min, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) with robotic CME versus laparoscopy, respectively. Duration of hospital stay was longer with robotic CME, although not significantly (median 6 versus 5 days, P\u2009=\u20090.088). There were no significant differences in R0 resection rate, complications, readmission rates and local recurrence. A trend in survival benefit with robotic CME for disease-free (P\u2009=\u20090.0581) and overall survival (P\u2009=\u20090.0454) at 3 years was documented.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
