While anastomotic leakage (AL) remains a devastating complication after right hemicolectomy for colorectal cancer, the predictive role of RDW in this setting has not been clearly established. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of RDW in predicting AL and postoperative outcomes after right hemicolectomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective study included 234 patients who underwent right or extended right hemicolectomy for colorectal cancer between June 2020 and May 2025 at a tertiary referral center.

Patients with elevated RDW-fL values (&gt;46.1 fL) were significantly older and had higher American Society of Anesthesiologists\u2019 (ASA) scores, lower preoperative hemoglobin and albumin levels, and higher C-reactive protein levels. They also demonstrated shorter overall survival (47.7 versus 59.2 months,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .027).
