Laparoscopic colectomy

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.

Laparoscopic assisted colectomy

Surgical Endoscopy, 1996
The 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 ...

LAPAROSCOPIC COLECTOMY

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2000
The unique challenges of a laparoscopic approach to colorectal surgery have delayed its widespread adoption into clinical practice. Advances in instrumentation, modifications of technique, and an unequivocal demonstration of its safety undoubtedly will increase its popularity in the future.

Laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy:

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1994
Laparoscopic surgery seems set to make a significant impact on the practice of colorectal surgery. However, to date, the majority of surgeons have used a technique of laparoscopic assistance whereby initial laparoscopic mobilization of the bowel is followed by extracorporeal mesenteric and bowel division and subsequent restoration of bowel continuity ...

Laparoscopic Assisted Colectomies Versus Open Colectomy

Journal of Laparoendoscopic Surgery, 1995
Minimally 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

Hand-Assisted Laparoscopic Colectomy: Benefits of Laparoscopic Colectomy at No Extra Cost

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2009
Comparison studies of hand-assisted and laparoscopic-assisted colectomy have indicated that short-term outcomes are similar. Although a few of these studies have compared costs, none has reported on the costs of hand-assisted colectomy performed in the US.

Robotic versus laparoscopic colectomy

Surgical Endoscopy, 2007
This study compared the experience and cost of the DaVinci Robotic system and laparoscopy for colon resections.For this study, 30 consecutive robotic and 27 consecutive laparoscopic colectomies were divided into right and sigmoid colectomies for analysis.
