Indications and Contraindications

Abstract

This chapter outlines the principal indications and contraindications for laparoscopic surgery to treat diseases of the small intestine, the colon, and the rectum. Indications and contraindications may vary somewhat depending on the laparoscopic team’s experience and the patient being treated. Nonetheless, this chapter should be a helpful guide to surgeons at all levels of experience in laparoscopic surgery.
