Laparoscopic colectomy
Abstract
Background: In the article we present laparoscopic procedures of colon at Slovenj Gradec General Hospital.
Patients and methods: From 1999 to 2005 we performed 71 laparoscopic procedures of colon: segmental resections, left and right hemicolectomies, low anterior resections, total colectomy, anus preters and restoring continuity of the bowel, rectopexies, and adhesiolysis.
Results: We had 11 conversions and 9 complications we had to operate again. Among them there were 3 dehiscences, 2 ileuses, rectovaginal fistula, peritonitis, intraabdominal abscess and stenosis.
Conclusions: The main advantages of laparoscopic operations are faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, and less pain. On the other hand, disadvantages can be seen in higher cost, longer procedure and more complications in learning period.
