Minimally invasive surgical techniques are preferred for a variety of surgical disorders and result in improved outcomes. Laparoscopic colectomy is associated with decreased postoperative pain, faster ileus resolution, shorter hospitalization, and improved cosmesis when compared with open colectomy. The laparoscopic technique is now often preferred for

The surgical removal of all or the greater part of the large intestine is done to relieve symptoms resulting from extensive disease of the colon. The ileum may be anastomosed with the sigmoid, the rectum, or the anus, or may be brought out through the skin to form a permanent ileostomy. A number of writers (1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 12, 13) have observed that,
