Hand-Assisted Laparoscopic vs. Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery: A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Trial

Abstract: In this prospective, randomized study, hand-assisted laparoscopic colorectal surgery resulted in significantly shorter operative times while maintaining similar clinical outcomes as straight laparoscopic techniques for patients undergoing left-sided colectomy and total abdominal colectomy.

“…It is crucial to choose the suitable positions of trocars, which provide with flexibility of laparoscopic procedures (Jones et al 1995;Bemelman et al 1996;Darzi 2000;Marcello et al 2008). With correct positions that ensure smooth operation performances, we can shorten operation time, reduce complications, and lighten operative trauma.…”

“…8 More recently, RALS has been reported to be a safe and feasible approach for various colorectal procedures. 9 -11 Although comparative studies of open vs CLS, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] open vs HALS, 8 and CLS vs HALS 12,13 have been reported in the colorectal surgery literature, a limited number of studies have compared RALS with other minimally invasive modalities. 14, 15 We present a 3-arm (conventional, hand-assisted, and robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery) matched-case analysis of intraoperative and short-term postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing minimally invasive colorectal surgery.…”

“…Since the introduction of the first hand-assisted device in 1997, the hand-assisted technique has been successfully applied to a variety of surgical procedures, including colectomy [4], nephrectomy [5], liver resection [6], abdominal aortic aneurism repair [7], splenectomy [8], hysterectomy, and myomectomy [1,2]. In this study, we have successfully used Fig.…”
