Abstract:Background
Colostomy formation as part of the Hartmann’s procedure is often performed during emergency surgery as a damage limitation measure where attempts at bowel anastomosis and continuity are contraindicated. Hartmann’s reversal (HR) remains challenging and can be attempted through open surgery and various minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopic and robotic platforms). We aimed to analyse outcomes of conventional multi-port laparoscopy (CL) versus single-incision approach (SILS) in pat… Show more
