|May 8, 2019
Summary
Laparoscopic Hartmann reversal offers a safe alternative to open surgery, with no anastomotic leakage or need for ileostomy diversion in a small case series. This minimally invasive approach shows promise for improving patient outcomes in colorectal surgery.
Area of Science:
- Colorectal Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Surgical Outcomes
Background:
- Minimally invasive colorectal surgery offers significant advantages.
- Hartmann reversal is a complex procedure with potential for morbidity.
- Laparoscopic techniques are increasingly applied to various colorectal procedures.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of laparoscopic Hartmann reversal.
- To assess the safety and efficacy of this minimally invasive approach.
- To determine if laparoscopic Hartmann reversal improves postoperative outcomes compared to open procedures.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of a database from Fundeni Clinical Institute.
- Selection of patients who underwent laparoscopic Hartmann reversal.
- Data collection on patient demographics, operative time, and postoperative complications.
Main Results:
- Nine cases of laparoscopic Hartmann reversal were analyzed.
- Median patient age was 63 years, with a mean BMI of 29.
- Average operative time was 223 minutes.
- No cases required ileostomy diversion postoperatively.
- Zero instances of anastomotic leakage were reported.
Conclusions:
- Laparoscopic Hartmann reversal is an attainable alternative for experienced surgical teams.
- Patient characteristics play a role in the success of the laparoscopic approach.
- Further large-scale studies are needed to confirm superiority.

The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

6.6K
The center of gravity (COG) of an object is the point where the object's total weight is considered to be concentrated. Knowing the location of the center of gravity is useful when predicting the behavior of a moving object or designing static structures. In a uniform gravitational field, the center of gravity is similar to the center of mass (COM); yet, these two points can be positioned differently. For example, the Moon's center of mass lies very close to its geometric center, but...

The center of gravity is the point at which an object's weight appears to be concentrated and can be used to balance the object perfectly. This point is essential in mechanics as it provides information regarding a body's stability and moments of inertia. The center of gravity does not always have to fall within the shape or boundaries of the body; it may also lie outside the body in certain cases.
To determine its location, the principle of moments can be utilized by dividing the object into...

The center of mass is the point at which the total mass of an object can be said to be concentrated. It is a fundamental principle in mechanics and physics that applies to all objects regardless of their shape or size. The center of gravity is the point at which an object’s weight appears to be concentrated and can be used to balance the object perfectly.
The knowledge of the center of mass can also help us to describe and predict the motion of objects. For example, when a ball is thrown...

General plane motion, often observed in a rolling wheel, refers to a type of movement where the wheel is simultaneously rotating and translating. This complex motion can be understood by breaking it down into individual components.
To analyze this, consider two points on the wheel: point A and point B. The absolute velocity of point B can be expressed as the vector sum of the absolute velocity of point A and the relative velocity of point B with respect to point A. To simplify this analysis,...

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
