Abstract
In recent years, laparoscopy has had a significant impact on colorectal surgery. However, to date, totally laparoscopic procedures have required the use of stapling devices to fashion the anastomosis. Herein we report a case of totally laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy with intracorporeal hand-sewn anastomosis for diverticulitis. We describe the surgical technique, focusing on the advantages of and indications for the laparoscopic hand-sewn anastomosis.Entities:
