Recommendations for treatment with appendectomy versus right hemicolectomy (RHC) for different tumor types are evolving and sometimes conflicting.

Higher stage was associated with increased odds of RHC for all tumor types. RHC was associated with higher rate of unplanned readmission (5% vs. 3%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and longer postoperative hospital stay (median 5\u00a0days vs. 3\u00a0days,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
