Hand-assisted laparoscopic sigmoid resection for diverticular disease: 100 consecutive cases

Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) has been proposed as a useful alternative to conventional laparoscopic and open surgery. As compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery, it offers the advantages of tactile feedback, better exposure, and a shorter learning curve. There is increasing evid...

Description
Summary:Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) has been proposed as a useful alternative to conventional laparoscopic and open surgery. As compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery, it offers the advantages of tactile feedback, better exposure, and a shorter learning curve. There is increasing evidence that HALS retains the advantages of minimal-access surgery. The aim of this study was to analyze the feasibility as well as the short- and medium-term outcomes of HALS sigmoid resection for diverticular disease.
