Abstract

Sigmoid colectomy and left hemicolectomy are operations that can be either open, laparoscopic, or utilizing a hand-assist device. Surgeons have found that by using a hand port, these operations can be performed safely and efficiently, achieving the benefits of minimally invasive surgery while maintaining the tactile sensation in open surgery. In this chapter, we will be reviewing the hand-assisted approach to a laparoscopic sigmoid resection, left hemicolectomy, and Hartmann`s reversal.
