This study aims to report the safety profile of complete mesocolic excision and central vascular ligation in patients undergoing robotic surgery for right‐sided colon cancer during the introduction of this technique across two institutions in Australia. This series of 20 patients demonstrates a safe introduction of robotic complete mesocolic excision and central vascular ligation in patients with right‐sided colon cancer, without Clavien III or more complications and no reinterventions. All patients had a complete resection and the lymph node harvest was high in this setting.
