Abstract:
Laparoscopic total abdominal colectomy (TAC) is the optimal operative approach for patients with medically refractory inflammatory bowel disease and other benign colon conditions. Minimally invasive techniques for TAC are safe, appropriate, and associated with faster recovery than open surgery. This may be of particular importance in patients who ultimately undergo proctectomy with or without intestinal pouch reconstruction. We describe approaches to the laparoscopic TAC.
