Laparoscopic Colectomy vs. Open Colectomy For Sigmoid Diverticular Disease
Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 2002The feasibility of laparoscopic colectomy for colon surgery has now been well established. Most of the studies on laparoscopic colectomies include all types of colonic pathologies without discrimination. Our goal was to compare laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy open sigmoid colectomy for simple sigmoid diverticular disease, to assess whether it can be ...
