Abstract

Minimally invasive (robotic or laparoscopic) closure of end stomas is a safe and viable option in the hands of experienced surgeons and appropriately selected patients. As in all planned two-part operations, the success of the second operation is greatly influenced by the first operation. This chapter focuses on aspects of the first operation that can be modified to make minimally invasive stoma closure more successful.

The authors would like thank the members of the SAGES Colorectal Surgery Masters Program Collaboration Facebook Group for their recommendations regarding this chapter.
