Traditionally, colectomy is performed via an abdominal incision (laparotomy), though minimally invasive colectomy, by means of laparoscopy, is growing both in scope of indications and popularity, and is a well-established procedure as of 2006 in many medical centers. Resection of any part of the colon entails mobilization and ligation of the corresponding blood vessels. Lymphadenectomy is usually performed through excision of the fatty tissue adjacent to these vessels (mesocolon), in operations for colon cancer. When the resection is complete, the surgeon has the option of immediately restoring the bowel, by stitching together both the cut ends (primary anastomosis), or creating a colostomy. Several factors are taken into account, including: * Circumstances of the operation (elective vs emergency); * Disease being treated; * Acute physiological state of the patient; * Impact of living with a colostomy, albeit temporarily; * Use of a specific preoperative regimen of low-residue diet and laxatives (so-called "bowel prep"). An anastomosis carries the risk of dehiscence (breakdown of the stitches), which can lead to contamination of the peritoneal cavity, peritonitis, sepsis and death. Colostomy is always safer, but places a societal, psychological and physical burden on the patient. The choice is by no means an easy one and is rife with controversy, being a frequent topic of heated debate among surgeons all over the world.

TITLE: Laparoscopic Subtotal Colectomy for Multiple Colon Polyposes Introduction: Laparoscopic subtotal colectomy is probably one of the most difficult and complex procedures in laparoscopic colorectal surgery. The potential benefit of minimally invasive surgery, such as improved cosmesis, reduced postoperative pain, shorter length of hospitalization, and faster return to normal activity, could be overcome by higher complication rates and longer lengths of surgery. Methods: We report the case of a 55-year-old man who underwent laparoscopic subtotal colectomy for multiple colon polyposes. A preoperative colonoscopy highlights the presence of multiple colon polyps, with evidence of moderate to severe dysplasia. Results: The most difficult and also time-consuming part of the procedure is the mobilization of the transverse colon and division of the middle colic vessels. Each branch is treated with care, and proximal control of vessels is maintained at all times. Because this area may be difficult to expose, a fundamental understanding of the vessels encountered here is extremely important. The vascular pedicle should be confirmed before division as the superior mesenteric artery and vein lie deep to the dissection line and the pancreas is fully exposed as dissection progresses. Conclusions: The laparoscopic approach to subtotal colectomy is especially attractive as there are a variety of benign indications for this procedure and a previously necessary long midline incision <b>...</b>

Dr. David Rivadeneira from Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, NY will host a panel discussion on how to obtain improved outcomes during open surgery through the application of advanced techniques and technologies, including the new LigaSure Impact™ instrument. "It provides excellent and reliable hemostasis on major blood vessels, but the big advancement is that it is faster than traditional techniques and leaves no foreign material behind." The program will begin with a brief introduction of the topic, followed by video presentation of two procedures, a right hemicolectomy and a sigmoid colectomy. Dr. Rivadeneira will discuss the techniques that he uses. "You'll be able to see the impact of applying multifunctional energy-based instruments to enable rapid and reliable dissection of the mesentery and ligation of colonic blood supply. This is particularly evident on tough diverticular cases, where it works very well with complicated tissue." Joining Dr. Rivadeneira, to review and discuss the cases, will be Dr. Sang Lee from Weill Cornell Medical College, NY.

Fleshman, MD, FACS, FASCRS, of the Washington University School of Medicine, as they highlight the use of Advanced Energy in Colorectal surgery. The advent of NOTES (Natural Orifice Trans En Surgery) and LESS (Laparo Endoscopic Single Site Surgery) has re-invigorated the surgical community to a degree unseen since the introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy some two decades ago. While NOTES has great potential, widespread use is probably a decade or more away, barring an as yet unforeseen technologic breakthrough. LESS, on the other hand, holds great promise as a current approach, not just for the future. However, aspects of LESS approaches for colorectal resection are problematic due to the complexity of colorectal procedures. With this in mind, we have approached the operation using a variation of LESS which we have termed no visible scar colectomy. This technique and surgical approach will be discussed.

When a person gets E. coli food poisoning, the E. coli bacteria (usually E. coli O157:H7) attack the large intestine, also known as the colon, by producing toxins called Shiga toxins. These toxins can do a lot of damage to cells in the colon, leading to a condition called colitis, an inflammation of the colon that at times can become incredibly severe. In some cases, severe colitis requires removing all of part of the colon. This surgery is known as a colectomy. Our E. coli attorneys represent E. coli outbreak victims nationwide who need a colectomy due to E. coli infections from contaminated food. To contact Pritzker Olsen law firm, call 1-888-377-8900 toll free. In E. coli colectomy cases, several parties may be liable (legally responsible to compensate the person needing the colectomy), including the following: 1. Food manufacturer 2. Food distributor 3. Restaurant, cafeteria or other eating establishment 4. Grocery store or other retailer (only in certain cases) More information: 1. E. coli poisoning: www.pritzkerlaw.com 2.

TITLE: Single-Incision Right Colectomy: Robotic-Assisted vs. Standard Laparoscopic Background: Application of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) is increasing across surgical disciplines. Besides the possibility of decreased postoperative pain, LESS offers better cosmesis with virtually "scarless" surgeries without the increased costs and complexity of natural orifice surgery. Instrument conflict minimization often requires crossing of articulating instruments, which can be more intuitively facilitated using the da Vinci-S robot. We compare our early experience with 4 different techniques for robotic single-incision right colectomy with our standard laparoscopy experience. Methods: Single-incision right colectomies were performed using either standard laparoscopic equipment or the da Vinci-S robotic system utilizing either a single 4-cm incision, 3 separate skin and fascial incisions, or the SILS port. A medial to lateral approach was used in all, and an extracorporeal resection and anastomosis was performed in all cases. Results: There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. Average robotic operative time was 152 minutes vs. 125 for standard laparoscopy. One robotic case was converted to a nonrobotic single-incision right colectomy during mobilization of the ascending colon due to uncontrollable air leakage around the ports. Conclusions: Single-incision right colectomy can be successfully and safely performed laparoscopically or using the da Vinci <b>...</b>

The patient's right colon was removed to treat a 6cm carcinoma of the cecum. The laparoscopic resection was accomplished with only a small incision at the umbilicus through which the ports were placed. In performing the surgery, Dr. Julio Teixeira maintained sound oncologic principles and a curative resection was achieved. The patient had an uneventful recovery.
