Surgical Endoscopy, 1997
Laparoscopic colectomy has developed with the explosion of technology that has followed laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Accumulation of skills in general laparoscopic surgery has made complex surgery, such as colectomy, feasible.Three hundred fifty-nine laparoscopic cases were prospectively studied.

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

Laparoscopic Assisted Colectomies Versus Open Colectomy
Journal of Laparoendoscopic Surgery, 1995Minimally invasive techniques are having an impact on a variety of surgical procedures. Before their widespread acceptance as the standard of care, studies need to document their efficacy in comparison to open techniques. This study compared 25 laparoscopic-assisted colectomies to 25 open colectomies all performed within the last five years by the same

Laparoscopic assisted colectomy
Surgical Endoscopy, 1996The role and feasibility of laparoscopic assisted colectomy (LAC) in both benign and malignant disease of the colon are not clear. We have reviewed our series in an effort to further delineate whether or not LAC is appropriate in the treatment of colonic disease.This is a retrospective view of a personal series focusing on feasibility, cure of ...

Open Colectomies vs. Laparoscopic Colectomies
Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 2009To the Editor-I read with interest the article by Moloo et al.1 and appreciate the attempt by the authors to demonstrate that the results of randomized clinical trials comparing open colectomies (OC) with laparoscopic colectomies (LC) can be generalized to real-world practice settings.

Animal and epidemiologic studies have raised hopes that effective chemoprevention of colorectal cancer in very high-risk patients may be possible in the future, but at present, the only established effective way to prevent colorectal cancer in very high-risk patients is colectomy.

Laparoscopic colectomy vs traditional colectomy for diverticulitis
Surgical Endoscopy, 1996The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of patients undergoing laparoscopic colectomy for diverticulitis.Fourteen consecutive patients undergoing laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy (LSC) for diverticulitis were evaluated. Medical records from a control group of 14 matched patients undergoing traditional open sigmoid colectomy (OSC) for ...

Laparoscopic Colectomy for Malignancy
Surgical Innovation, 2000It is clear from published series that laparoscopic colectomy for cancer can be performed safely by experienced surgeons, but there is a considerable learning curve for the procedure. Although surgeons have shown that an equivalent resection can be performed, it is not clear yet that this translates into equivalent recurrence and survival rates.

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1993
A multicenter retrospective study was undertaken to assess the efficacy and safety of laparoscopy in colon and rectal surgery. To minimize potential bias in interpretation of the results, all data were registered with an independent observer, who did not participate in any of the surgical procedures.
