This study introduces a new 2-port laparoscopic colectomy technique for benign colon conditions. The method offers minimal incisions and rapid recovery, proving feasible for experienced colorectal surgeons.

Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Laparoscopic colon and rectal surgery demands advanced skills.
  • Existing techniques can be complex, requiring multiple ports.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel 2-port laparoscopic-assisted colectomy technique.
  • To review initial clinical experience with this approach for benign colonic pathologies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of patients undergoing 2-port laparoscopic-assisted colectomy.
  • Detailed description of the surgical technique for both right and left colectomies.

Main Results:

  • Sixty patients with benign colonic pathologies underwent the procedure.

  • Average skin incision length was 3.82 cm; mean hospital stay was 4.18 days.
  • Conversion to open surgery occurred in 4 cases; 18% experienced postoperative complications.

    • Conclusions:

    • 2-port laparoscopic-assisted segmental colectomy is a feasible technique with minimal incisions and fast recovery.
    • Experienced colorectal surgeons may find this technique easier to adopt.
    • The approach is suitable for benign colonic pathologies.
