What are the indications of right hemicolectomy?

Right hemicolectomy is indicated for conditions affecting the right side of the colon, including right-sided colon cancer, benign tumors, and significant polyps. It is also performed for inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis when localized to the right colon.
