Abstract:
Two cases of laparoscopic restoration of intestinal continuity are presented. The procedures were technically straightforward and both patients did well. These cases add to a small but growing literature documenting the technical feasibility of laparoscopic intestinal surgery. The potential risks and benefits of this minimally invasive technique are discussed.
