Abstract
BACKGROUND A laparoscopic approach generally provides several benefits in patients who undergo colon or rectal surgery without jeopardizing oncological outcomes. However, there is a paucity of studies on comparative outcomes of laparoscopic versus open approaches for second primary colorectal lesions after colectomy or proctectomy. METHODS From patients with colorectal disease who underwent surgery between 2008 and 2022 at our hospital, we collected 69 consecutive patients who had previous colorectal surgery for this retrospective study. Based on the second surgery approach (laparoscopic or open), patients were classified into the Lap (n = 37) or Op group (n = 32). Patients' baseline data and perioperative and postoperative outcomes were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Four patients (11%) of the Lap group needed conversion to laparotomy. The intraoperative blood loss was lower in the Lap group than the Op group (median: 45 ml vs. 205 ml, p = 0.001). The time to first bowel movement was shorter in the Lap group than the Op group (median: 2.8 days vs. 3.6 days, p = 0.007). The operative time, frequencies of postoperative morbidities, and overall survival did not differ between the two groups. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic surgery appeared feasible and beneficial for selected patients undergoing second colorectal resection after colectomy or proctectomy regarding blood loss and bowel function recovery without affecting other outcomes.

Abstract
Given the progression of laparoscopic surgery, questions continue to arise as to the ideal technique for a laparoscopic colectomy. The most debated of these questions is whether it is best to complete an intracorporeal (ICA) or extracorporeal (ECA) intestinal anastomosis. Here, we review the literature to date and report the equivalent safety and efficacy of ICA and ECA for laparoscopic right colectomy. However, these studies also indicate that when completed, ICA may prove beneficial with respect to earlier return of bowel function, less postoperative pain, shorter incision length, and reduced risk of wound infections. For this, we present the tips and tricks for completing all forms of laparoscopic ICAs during laparoscopic colectomy.

Abstract
The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the effects of a novel perioperative treatment for the implementation of the gut microbiota, to prevent anastomotic fistula and leakage (AL) in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal resections for cancer. A series of 60 patients who underwent elective colorectal surgery at S. Eugenio Hospital (Rome-Italy) between December 1, 2020 and November 30, 2021 and received a novel perioperative preparation following the MIRACLe (Microbiota Implementation to Reduce Anastomotic Colorectal Leaks) protocol (oral antibiotics, mechanical bowel preparation and perioperative probiotics), was compared to a group of 500 patients (control group) operated on between March 2015 and November 30, 2020, who received a standard ERAS protocol. In the MIRACLe Group only 1 anastomotic leak was registered. In this group the incidence of AL was just 1.7% vs. 6.4% in the control group (p = 0.238) and the incidence of surgical site infections (1.7% vs. 3.6%; p = 0.686), reoperations (1.7% vs. 4.2%; p = 0.547) and postoperative mortality (0% vs. 2.2%; p = 0.504) were lower. The postoperative outcomes were also better: the times to first flatus, to first stool and to oral feeding were shorter (1 vs. 2, 2 vs. 3 and 2 vs. 3 days, respectively; p < 0.001). Additionally, the postoperative recovery was faster, with a shorter time to discharge (4 vs. 6 days; p < 0.001). In this pilot study, the MIRACLe protocol appeared to be safe and considerably reduced anastomotic leaks in elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery for cancer, even if not statistically significant, due to the small number of cases.

Abstract
To compare the short-term outcomes in patients who underwent laparoscopic right colectomy with a traditional minimally invasive approach versus patients who underwent a laparoscopic colectomy with an enhanced perioperative pathway. A retrospective analysis was conducted on a consecutive series of patients who underwent elective laparoscopic right colectomy for neoplastic disease between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2020. The patients were divided into two groups: the first cohort (FC), who underwent a traditional laparoscopic colectomy, mainly with extracorporeal anastomosis, between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2015 and the second cohort (SC), who underwent a laparoscopic colectomy with an enhanced intraoperative (intracorporeal anastomosis) and perioperative pathway (ERAS protocol) between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2020. There were a total of 361 patients, including 177 in the FC and 184 in the SC. In the SC a higher number of intracorporeal anastomoses was performed (91.8% vs. 19.2%, p < 0.001), drains were placed in 42 patients only (22.8% vs. 100% in the FC) and nasogastric tubes were placed in 21 patients only (11.4% vs. 100% in the FC). In the initial period of the SC. the procedures required a slightly longer operative time (median 105 vs. 95 min; p = 0.002), but postoperative surgical complications were lower (12% vs. 17.4%, p = 0.179). Postoperative recovery was faster in SC along with time to discharge (4 vs. 7 days; p < 0.001). Intraoperative anastomosis and enhanced pathways in right laparoscopic colectomy seem to guarantee better results with lower surgical complications and faster postoperative recovery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) demonstrated that a laparoscopic approach provides short-term benefits, such as reduced blood loss and a shorter hospital stay, in patients who undergo rectal surgery. On the other hand, a few RCTs investigating proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC) or familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) suggested limited advantages of laparoscopic surgery over open surgery. A substantial proportion of patients with UC or FAP may undergo staged operations with IPAA, but no study has compared the two approaches for proctectomy with IPAA after total abdominal colectomy. METHODS We examined 61 consecutive patients with UC or FAP who underwent proctectomy with IPAA after colectomy in our hospital. Patients were divided into the Lap group (n = 37) or the Op group (n = 24) according to surgical approach. Patient background and outcomes, such as operative time, blood loss, first bowel movement, postoperative complications, and pouchitis, were compared between these groups. RESULTS One patient required conversion to open surgery in the Lap group. The median volume of blood loss was 90 mL in the Lap group and 580 mL in the Op group (p < 0.0001). The Lap group showed a shorter time to first bowel movement than the Op group (median: 1 vs 2 days, p = 0.0003). The operative time, frequencies of postoperative complications, and accumulation rate of pouchitis were similar between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic surgery was beneficial for patients undergoing restorative proctectomy in terms of blood loss and bowel recovery without increasing the operative time or rate of complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION An ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the treatment of choice in selected patients to restore intestinal continuity following proctocolectomy. Data on IPAA in the Republic of Ireland is lacking, and surgery for IPAA has evolved over time. The aim of this retrospective study was to report our institutional outcomes from IPAA over a 20-year period. METHODS Data were retrospectively collated from consecutive primary IPAA cases between 1998 and 2017 at Beaumont Hospital. Patient demographics and operative approach were examined, and pouch failure was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Ninety-five patients underwent IPAA over the study period with a mean follow-up of 9.4 ± 5.6 years. The mean age at IPAA was 35.9 ± 10.0 years, and 58.9% were male. The majority were performed in 3 stages (78.9%), were performed to treat ulcerative colitis (66.3%), were of a J-pouch configuration (96.8%), and had a stapled anastomosis (70.5%). On follow-up, 28.4% reported experiencing at least 1 episode of pouchitis and the 10-year pouch failure rate was 14%. In the last decile of the study period, the mean number of IPAA performed per year increased to 10.5 ± 2.1 (P = 0.013), the age of IPAA formation reduced (P = 0.049), and the proportion completed in a minimally invasive manner increased (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Acceptable long-term outcomes were observed by our institution. A recent increase in institutional volume, reduction in patient age, and increase in the proportion of cases performed laparoscopically have been identified.

Abstract
Large pathological structures in the abdominal cavity curb the application of laparoscopic surgery. This case report describes a successful laparoscopy-assisted colectomy for benign colon disease in a patient with multiple large renal cysts. An 82-year-old man was referred to our department for treatment of stenosis of descending colon secondary to ischemic colitis. An abdominal computed tomography revealed multiple large renal cysts occupying a large proportion of the peritoneal cavity. To minimize the postoperative recovery period, laparoscopic surgery was planned despite the renal cysts. After inserting access ports, the walls of the several renal cysts were fenestrated with an electronic scalpel and the serous fluid was aspirated to enable continuation of the laparoscopic colectomy. The left colon was mobilized and extracted through an incision at the umbilicus, and the affected part of the colon was resected safely. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and the present case suggests that laparoscopy-assisted colectomy can be performed safely even in patients with multiple large renal cysts.

Abstract
PURPOSE Total mesorectal excision (TME) is the gold standard resectional strategy for rectal cancer to minimize loco-regional recurrence and optimize oncological outcomes. This plane is described by many as 'bloodless' but it does contain important pelvic neural plexuses and dissection may be close to the ureters and major vascular structures, particularly in inflammatory conditions of the distal colon and rectum. In such benign diseases a more conservative excision, so-called close rectal dissection, has been advocated to minimize damage to these structures. METHODS A review of the literature was conducted to document the evolution of this procedure. Contemporary literature was interrogated to ascertain how this approach is adopted in minimally invasive surgery. Post-operative outcomes are compared to those from TME surgery. RESULTS From early descriptions in 1956, this procedure has been adapted for use in laparoscopic surgery. It may be particularly useful in trans-anal mesorectal surgery. Reported benefits include reduced nerve injury and pelvic sepsis. However, this must be balanced against risks of mesorectal bleeding, rectal injury, and ongoing inflammation from the retained mesorectum. CONCLUSION Rectal surgery in inflammatory conditions is technically challenging. Close rectal dissection is an alternate approach available to colorectal surgeons in these cases to minimize pelvic morbidity and optimize postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
AIM Surgery for ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) has evolved over time, especially since the introduction of laparoscopy. The aim of this retrospective study was to report the impact of surgical evolution on outcome over a period of 25 years. METHOD All patients who had IPAA surgery for ulcerative colitis from 1990 to 2015 at the University Hospitals of Leuven were included. Patients were divided into three period arms (period A 1990-1999; period B 2000-2009; period C 2010-2015). The main outcome measure was anastomotic leakage. RESULTS A total of 335 patients (58.8% male) with a median age of 39 years (interquartile range 32-49 years) at surgery were included. Median follow-up was 5 years (interquartile range 2-10 years). Overall anastomotic leakage (grades A-C) was 14.9%. A significant decrease in leakage rate was observed over time (from 21.4% in period A to 12.1% in period B to 10.0% in period C; P = 0.04). The defunctioning ileostomy rate at the time of pouch construction decreased from 91.7% (period A) to 40.3% (period B) to 11.1% (period C) (P < 0.001). We observed an increase in the use of laparoscopy (23.9% in period A vs 72.6% in period B, vs 84.4% in period C; P = 0.001) and a shift to a modified two-stage procedure (4.1% in period A, vs 66.7% in period C; P < 0.0001). In a monocentric study with some of the data retrieved retrospectively it was not possible to account for the impact of preoperative nutritional status (weight loss, serum albumin level) or disease burden. Other outcome factors were not measured, for example sexual function and fecundity. CONCLUSION A higher rate of laparoscopic IPAA surgery, together with a shift towards modified two-stage procedures, was associated with a lower leakage rate despite a reduction in the use of defunctioning ileostomy.

Abstract
外科治疗是溃疡性结肠炎(ulcerative colitis, UC)的重要组成部分, 全结直肠切除、回肠贮袋肛管吻合术(ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, IPAA)已成为标准术式. 近年来在微创外科技术的迅猛发展与普及下, 越来越多医疗中心开展腹腔镜IPAA手术. 腹腔镜IPAA手术相比于开腹手术的在术后近、远期疗效中的优势逐渐突显, 且其安全有效性已达成共识. 目前更多更为微创的技术也陆续尝试应用于IPAA手术. 但是由于UC患者自身疾病的特点和IPAA术式的复杂性, 腹腔镜IPAA手术仍未达到标准化、规范化水平. 本文主要针对UC微创外科术后疗效和合理应用的研究进展作一述评.

Abstract
AIM Subtotal colectomy (STC) is a well-established treatment for complicated and refractory ulcerative colitis (UC). A laparoscopic approach offers potentially improved outcomes. The aim of the study was to report our experience with STC for UC in a single large centre. METHOD From January 2007 to May 2015, all consecutive patients undergoing STC for UC were retrospectively analysed from a prospectively managed database. Patients with known Crohn's disease or those undergoing one-stage procedures were excluded. Demographics, perioperative outcomes and second-stage procedures were analysed. RESULTS During the study period, 151 STCs were performed for UC [100 emergency (66%) and 51 elective (34%)]. Acute severe colitis refractory to therapy was the most common indication (62%). Overall, 117 laparoscopic (78%) and 34 open STCs were performed, with a conversion rate of 14.5%. Mortality and morbidity rates were 0.7% and 38%, respectively. Whilst operative time was shorter for open STC (by 75 min; P = 0.001), there were fewer complications (32% vs 62%; P = 0.002) and a shorter hospital stay (by 6.9 days; P = 0.0002) following laparoscopic STC. Fewer complications and shorter hospital stay were also observed after elective STC. Patients undergoing laparoscopic STC were more likely to undergo a restorative second-stage procedure than those having open STC (75% vs 50%; P = 0.03). CONCLUSION Laparoscopic STC for UC is feasible and safe, even in the emergency situation. A laparoscopic approach may offer advantages in terms of lower morbidity and reduced length of stay. Elective resection may offer similar advantages and is best performed whenever possible.

Abstract
AIM: To review current applications of the laparoscopic surgery while highlighting the standard procedures across different fields.
METHODS: A comprehensive search was undertaken using the PubMed Advanced Search Builder. A total of 321 articles were found in this search. The following criteria had to be met for the publication to be selected: Review article, randomized controlled trials, or meta-analyses discussing the subject of laparoscopic surgery. In addition, publications were hand-searched in the Cochrane database and the high-impact journals. A total of 82 of the findings were included according to matching the inclusion criteria. Overall, 403 full-text articles were reviewed. Of these, 218 were excluded due to not matching the inclusion criteria.
RESULTS: A total of 185 relevant articles were identified matching the search criteria for an overview of the current literature on the laparoscopic surgery. Articles covered the period from the first laparoscopic application through its tremendous advancement over the last several years. Overall, the biggest advantage of the procedure has been minimizing trauma to the abdominal wall compared with open surgery. In the case of cholecystectomy, fundoplication, and adrenalectomy, the procedure has become the gold standard without being proven as a superior technique over the open surgery in randomized controlled trials. Faster recovery, reduced hospital stay, and a quicker return to normal activities are the most evident advantages of the laparoscopic surgery. Positive outcomes, efficiency, a lower rate of wound infections, and reduction in the perioperative morbidity of minimally invasive procedures have been shown in most indications.
CONCLUSION: Improvements in surgical training and developments in instruments, imaging, and surgical techniques have greatly increased safety and feasibility of the laparoscopic surgical procedures.

Abstract
AIM: The aim was to study the feasibility of the laparoscopic approach in the management of ulcerative colitis, to assess the functional results at 1-year and to review of literature on the topic. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients presenting for surgical management of histopathologically proven ulcerative colitis during the study period were included in the study. All patients presenting in a non-emergency setting were offered a two-stage procedure (Group A). The first-stage consisted of laparoscopic total proctocolectomy (TPC) with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) with a diverting split end ileostomy. Ileostomy was closed in the second stage. For patients presenting in acute setting (Group B), the first-stage consisted of laparoscopic TPC with end ileostomy followed by IPAA with diverting split end ileostomy in the second-stage and finally ileostomy closure in the third-stage. The technique is described. RESULTS: A total of 31 cases underwent laparoscopic TPC-IPAA, of which 28 belonged to Group A and 3 were included in Group B. All surgeries were successfully completed laparoscopically without need for conversion. The average operating time was 375 min in Group A (range: 270–500 min) and 390 min in Group B (range: 250–480 min). Oral diet was resumed at a mean of 3.4 days (range: 1.5–6 days) and the mean hospital stay was 8.2 days (range: 4–26 days). Overall morbidity rate was 16.2%; re-operation rate was 9.7% while mortality was nil. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic TPC-IPAA is feasible in acute as well as non-acute setting in patients needing surgical management of ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to compare the methodological quality and input paper characteristics of systematic reviews and meta-analyses reported in the medical and surgical literature by performing a systematic 'overview of reviews'. Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) were used as the framework for this comparison as they are relatively common serious conditions, with both medical and surgical options for therapy. METHOD Medline, Embase, CINHAL and the Cochrane Database were searched to November 2013. Eligible papers were systematic reviews or meta-analyses that considered a question of therapy in CD or UC. Two independent reviewers selected the papers, extracted the data and scored their methodology using the AMSTAR scoring system. The papers were categorized into medical therapy (M), surgical therapy (S) or medical and surgical therapy (MS) groups. Following retrieval of the sample of meta-evidence papers, the original input studies used in their creation were identified and a search of Medline, Embase, CINHAL and the Cochrane Database was performed. A team of researchers then examined the collection of papers for bibliographic and financial information. RESULTS Five hundred papers were identified in the meta-evidence search, of which 118 were deemed eligible. There was a difference in the AMSTAR-rated average quality of the papers between the S and M group (S 7.36 vs M 8.75, P = 0.01). On average S papers were published in journals with a lower impact factor (S 3.26, M 5.04, MS 5.30, P < 0.001). S papers also showed more heterogeneity (I(2) ; S 37%, M 24%, MS 10%, P < 0.001). Some 25% of S meta-analyses used data-sets with significant heterogeneity (I(2) > 75%), compared with 8% of M meta-analyses and 3% of the MS meta-analyses. Some 5% of S papers were done on data sets that had I(2) values > 90%. There was no difference in the average number of papers assessed in each group, the average number of patients per meta-paper, the average time covered by the reviews, the average number of papers considered within each meta-analysis, or the average number of patients considered within each meta-analysis. Considering the conclusions of each meta-analysis, S meta-evidence was 50% more likely than M meta-evidence to be unable to make recommendations for practice. A total of 1499 original input papers were identified, of which 283 were used in more than one review. Within the non-repeated papers (n = 1023) the average impact factor within the S group was lower than that of the M and the MS groups (3.720 vs 11.230 vs 7.563, respectively; ANOVAP < 0.001). M papers had higher rates of pharmaceutical sponsorship than S papers (M 56% vs S 1%) and twice the level of government support (M 16% vs S 8%). Of note, 21% of M papers had corporate sponsorship but did not list any conflict of interest. CONCLUSION Compared with M meta-analyses, S meta-analyses in the UC and CD domain are more likely to be of poorer methodological quality, are of a greater degree of heterogeneity and less often offer a positive conclusion. The papers used to generate meta-evidence in M papers have a greater degree of corporate and government sponsorship, and are more likely to come from journals with higher impact factors.

Abstract
Surgical management of inflammatory bowel disease is a challenging endeavor given infectious and inflammatory complications, such as fistula, and abscess, complex often postoperative anatomy, including adhesive disease from previous open operations. Patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis also bring to the table the burden of their chronic illness with anemia, malnutrition, and immunosuppression, all common and contributing independently as risk factors for increased surgical morbidity in this high-risk population. However, to reduce the physical trauma of surgery, technologic advances and worldwide experience with minimally invasive surgery have allowed laparoscopic management of patients to become standard of care, with significant short- and long-term patient benefits compared with the open approach. In this review, we will describe the current state-of the-art for minimally invasive surgery for inflammatory bowel disease and the caveats inherent with this practice in this complex patient population. Also, we will review the applicability of current and future trends in minimally invasive surgical technique, such as laparoscopic "incisionless," single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), robotic-assisted, and other techniques for the patient with inflammatory bowel disease. There can be no doubt that minimally invasive surgery has been proven to decrease the short- and long-term burden of surgery of these chronic illnesses and represents high-value care for both patient and society.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is a significant risk of surgical resection during the lifetime of an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patient: laparoscopic surgery has been increasingly applied to the management of IBD with short and long-term advantages. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that laparoscopic surgery for IBD, performed by a surgical trainee under the supervision of an experienced trainer, is feasible and safe. METHODS All surgical procedures were sub-divided in six critical steps in order to define the procedure as supervised trainee performed (STP) when the trainer was present unscrubbed in the theatre or assisting and trainer performed (TNER) when the trainer performed two or more critical steps of the procedure. Included were all patients undergoing laparoscopic resection for IBD between January 2009 and December 2013. Thirty-day mortality and morbidity were the primary outcomes. Reoperations and rehospitalizations within 30 days of discharge were recorded prospectively and were the secondary outcomes together with conversion rate and length of hospital stay. RESULTS One hundred fifty-one patients were included: 77 (50.99%) STP and 74 (49.01%) TNER. No deaths occurred, and 30-day morbidity was 27.15% with no differences between the groups. Operating time was longer in the STP (166.6 ± 53.31 vs 130.4 ± 49.15). Five patients (2 vs 3) required reoperation (3.31%), while 13 patients (8.6%) required readmission. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic surgery for IBD performed by a supervised trainee is safe compared to trainers performed procedures despite a longer operating time. Randomized clinical trials are needed to confirm these preliminary results and to investigate long-term outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to report a 14-year experience of laparoscopic approach for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including complicated and recurrent cases. BACKGROUND Feasibility of laparoscopic approach for IBD surgical management has been questioned. METHODS From 1998 to 2012, all patients undergoing colorectal resection for IBD were prospectively enrolled. Adjusted risks of conversion and severe postoperative morbidity after laparoscopic resection were computed, according to a multivariate regression logistic model. RESULTS A total of 790 consecutive resections for IBD were performed on 633 patients. Laparoscopic approach was performed in 574 (73%) procedures, including 286 ileocecal resections (48%), 118 subtotal colectomies (19%), 134 ileal pouch-anal anastomoses (21%), 23 segmental colectomies (8%), and 18 abdominoperineal resections (4%). A total of 145 (25%) complex laparoscopic procedures were performed, considered as such because of iterative surgery for IBD recurrence (n = 66, 12%) or because of intra-abdominal-abscess or fistula (n = 93, 16%). Conversion to laparotomy occurred in 67 procedures (12%). Postoperative death occurred in 1 patient (0.2%). Severe postoperative morbidity occurred in 66 laparoscopic procedures (13%). Splitting the study in 5 time periods, the rate of laparoscopic procedures significantly increased from 42% in period 1 to 80% in period 5 (P < 0.001). With time, the rate of complex procedures performed laparoscopically significantly increased (P = 0.023), whereas both mean adjusted risks of conversion and severe postoperative morbidity significantly decreased (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic approach is a safe and effective alternative to open surgery for IBD management. With growing experience, the rate of laparoscopic complex procedures increased, whereas adjusted risks of conversion and severe postoperative morbidity significantly decreased.

Abstract
Laparoscopic surgery has become well established in the management of both and malignant colorectal disease. The last decade has seen increasing numbers of surgeons trained to a high standard in minimally-invasive surgery. However there has not been the same enthusiasm for the use of laparoscopy in emergency colorectal surgery. There is a perception that emergent surgery is technically more difficult and may lead to worse outcomes. The present review aims to provide a comprehensive and critical appraisal of the available literature on the use of laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCS) in the emergency setting. The literature is broadly divided by the underlying pathology; that is, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis and malignant obstruction. There were no randomized trials and the majority of the studies were case-matched series or comparative studies. The overall trend was that LCS is associated with shorter hospital stay, par or fewer complications but an increased operating time.Emergency LCS can be safely undertaken for both benign and malignant disease providing there is appropriate patient selection, the surgeon is adequately experienced and there are sufficient resources to allow for a potentially more complex operation.

Abstract
Despite the development of new therapies, including anti-TNF alpha antibodies and immunosuppressants, a substantial proportion of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) still require surgery. Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal-pouch anal anastomosis is the standard surgical treatment of choice for UC. With the advent of laparoscopic techniques for colorectal surgery, ileal-pouch anal anastomosis has also been performed laparoscopically. This paper reviews the history and current trends in laparoscopic surgery for UC. The accumulation of experience and improvement of laparoscopic devices have shifted the paradigm of UC surgery towards laparoscopic surgery over the past decade. Although laparoscopic surgery requires a longer operation, it provides significantly better short and long-term outcomes. The short-term benefits of laparoscopic surgery over open surgery include shorter hospital stays and fasting times, as well as better cosmesis. The long-term benefits of laparoscopy include better fecundity in young females. Some surgeons favor laparoscopic surgery even for severe acute colitis. More efforts are being made to develop newer laparoscopic methods, such as reduced port surgery, including single incision laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of performing laparoscopic intestinal surgery using local anesthesia and intravenous sedation with instruments <3 mm in diameter. METHODS Porcine model with acute (n = 2) and the survival studies (n = 8): all female pigs, weight (median 36.4 kg, range 33.2-38.4 kg). Surgeries were performed using only intravenous sedation with ketamine-midazolam and local anesthetic infiltration at the sites of trocar insertion, with airway protection. CO2 pneumoperitoneum was maintained using pressure of 3 to 5 mm Hg. Commercially available instruments, sizes <3 mm in diameter were used. Surgical steps were as follows: (a) exploration of all quadrants of the abdomen and pelvis, (b) "running" the entire length of small bowel, (c) dissection of bowel attachments to the peritoneal sidewall, and (d) creating a 2.5 cm enterotomy in the colon and suture repair of this defect. RESULTS All 10 surgeries were completed successfully. Animals tolerated the procedure well, with no requirement of intubation. There were no decrements in vital signs during pneumoperitoneum or surgery. Despite spontaneous respiration movements, all planned surgical maneuvers were feasible. The median length of operations was 74 minutes (range 56-165 minutes). All survival animals had an uneventful recovery; there were no infectious complications, oral intake and bowel function returned within 24 hours. CONCLUSIONS It appears feasible and safe to perform simple laparoscopic intestinal procedures using instruments <3 mm in diameter and low CO2 insufflation pressure under local anesthesia and intravenous sedation. This methodology holds promise in the development of new approaches to intestinal surgery and disease diagnosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The laparoscopic approach is accepted as a treatment option for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) who are otherwise in good health. However, its application for patients with severe UC remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of the laparoscopic approach for severe UC cases. Short- and long-term clinical outcomes after laparoscopic total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis were compared between severe and mild-to-intermediate UC patients. METHODS Cases treated between March 2002 and September 2010 were retrieved retrospectively from the database of Kyoto Medical Center and Kyoto University Hospital. Intraoperative complications and short- and long-term clinical outcomes were compared. RESULTS A total of 31 patients underwent laparoscopic total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. A comparison of short- and long-term clinical outcomes after one- or two-stage laparoscopic ileal pouch-anal anastomosis between severe (n = 7) and mild-to-intermediate (n = 21) UC patients revealed no significant differences. The proportion of patients with restoration of intestinal continuity did not differ between the groups (severe: 86%, mild to intermediate: 95%; P = 0.69). CONCLUSION The present findings suggest that laparoscopic total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for severe UC patients could be a good alternative approach when performed by an experienced hand.

Total abdominal colectomy for severe ulcerative colitis: does the laparoscopic approach really have benefit? Surg Endosc 2013; 28:617-25. [PMID: 24196546 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-013-3218-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2013] [Accepted: 09/09/2013] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is still unknown to what extent the reported morbidity and recovery benefits of laparoscopic total abdominal colectomy (TAC) for severe ulcerative colitis (UC) are associated with patient selection bias. This study aimed to evaluate whether laparoscopic TAC has any advantages over open surgery after control for perioperative confounding factors. METHODS Patients undergoing TAC for UC during 2006-2010 were identified. Demographics, disease characteristics, and perioperative outcomes were compared between laparoscopic and open TAC. Postoperative recovery and 30-day complications were further assessed by covariate-adjusted multivariate regression models. The outcomes of different laparoscopic techniques were compared. A subgroup analysis including surgeons who routinely used both laparoscopic and open techniques was also performed. RESULTS Of the 412 eligible patients, the 197 patients undergoing laparoscopic TAC were significantly younger and had a decreased Charlson Comorbidity Index and ASA score, increased hemoglobin and serum albumin levels, and a smaller proportion of extensive colitis and urgent cases. Unadjusted analyses showed that intraoperative morbidity, postoperative mortality, and rates for readmission and reoperation were similar. Laparoscopic TAC was associated with a longer operative time but a decrease in blood loss, overall morbidity, ileus, and thromboembolism, as well as a faster return to bowel function and a shorter hospital stay. After covariate adjustments, laparoscopic surgery remained associated with a reduction in the time to stoma function, incidence of postoperative ileus, and hospital stay compared with open TAC. The rates of postoperative morbidity, readmission, and reoperation did not differ regardless whether the conventional multitrocar technique, hand-assisted procedure, or single-incision technique was used. Laparoscopic TAC among surgeons using both open and laparoscopic techniques was associated with recovery benefits similar to those observed in the overall study population. CONCLUSION The data suggest that laparoscopic TAC retains recovery advantages over open surgery even after adjustments for confounders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic subtotal colectomy (STC) is a complex procedure. It is possible that short-term benefits for segmental resections cannot be attributed to this complex procedure. This study aims to assess differences in short-term results for laparoscopic versus open STC during a 15-year single-institute experience. METHODS We reviewed consecutive patients undergoing laparoscopic or open elective or subacute STC from January 1997 to December 2012. RESULTS Fifty-six laparoscopic and 50 open STCs were performed. The operation time was significantly longer in the laparoscopic group, median 266 min (range 121-420 min), compared to 153 min (range 90-408 min) in the open group (p < 0.001). Median hospital stay showed no statistical difference, 14 days (range 1-129 days) in the laparoscopic and 13 days (range 1-85 days) in the open group. Between-group postoperative complications were not statistically different. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic STC has short-term results similar to the open procedure, except for a longer operation time. The laparoscopic approach for STC is therefore only advisable in selected patients combined with extensive preoperative counseling.

Abstract
AIM This prospective case-matched study was conducted to compare the outcome of laparoscopic colorectal surgery in patients with and without prior abdominal open surgery (PAOS). METHOD From June 1997 to December 2010, 167 patients with PAOS (including midline, Pfannenstiel, subcostal, right upper quadrant or transverse incision) were manually matched to all identical patients without PAOS from our prospective laparoscopic colorectal surgery database. Matching criteria included age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score, body mass index, diagnosis and surgical procedure performed. Primary end-points were postoperative 30-day mortality and morbidity. Secondary end-points included operating time, conversion rate and length of stay. RESULTS A total of 367 patients (167 with PAOS and 200 without PAOS) were included in this study. PAOS was associated with a significantly increased mean operating time (229±66 min vs 216±71 min, P=0.044). The conversion rate was significantly higher in patients with PAOS, compared with patients without PAOS (22%vs 13%, P=0.017). There was one (0.3%) postoperative death. The overall postoperative morbidity rate was similar in both groups (22%vs 19%, P=0.658), including Grade 3 or Grade 4 morbidity, according to Dindo's classification (5%vs 5%, P=0.694). Mean hospital stay showed no difference between both groups (10±7 days vs 9±5 days, P=0.849). CONCLUSION This large case-control study suggests that PAOS does not affect postoperative outcomes. For this reason, a systematic laparoscopic approach in patients with PAOS, even with midline incision, should be considered in colorectal surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare single-incision laparoscopic colectomy (SILC) to conventional multiport laparoscopic colectomy (MLC). BACKGROUND Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is a minimally invasive technique being recently applied to colorectal surgery. A number of studies comparing SILC to conventional MLC have recently been published. METHODS A literature search of PubMed and MEDLINE databases for studies comparing SILC to conventional MLC was conducted. The primary outcome measures for meta-analysis were postoperative complications, length of stay, and operative time. Secondary outcome measures were incision length, estimated blood loss, and number of lymph nodes harvested. RESULTS Fifteen studies comparing 467 patients undergoing SILC to 539 patients undergoing conventional MLC were reviewed and the data pooled for analysis. Patients undergoing SILC had a shorter length of stay (pooled weighted mean difference (WMD) = -0.68; 95 % CI = -1.20 to -0.16; p = 0.0099), shorter incision length (pooled WMD = -1.37; 95 % CI = -2.74 to 0.000199; p = 0.05), less estimated blood loss (pooled WMD = -20.25; 95 % CI = -39.25 to -1.24; p = 0.037), and more lymph nodes harvested (pooled WMD = 1.75; 95 % CI = 0.12 to 3.38; p = 0.035), while there was no significant difference in the number of postoperative complications (pooled odds ratio = 0.83; 95 % CI = 0.57 to 1.20; p = 0.33) or operative time (pooled WMD = 5.06; 95 % CI = -2.91 to 13.03; p = 0.21). CONCLUSION SILC appears to have comparable results to conventional MLC in the hands of experienced surgeons. Prospective randomized trials are necessary to define the relative benefits of one procedure over the other.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The surgical management of ulcerative colitis (UC) often involves complex operations. We investigated the outcome of patients who underwent surgery for UC by analyzing a nationwide database. METHODS We queried the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (ACS-NSQIP, 2005-2008) for all UC patients who underwent colectomy. To analyze by operation, groupings included: partial colectomy (PC; n = 265), total abdominal colectomy (TAC; n = 232), total proctocolectomy with ileostomy (TPC-I; n = 134), and total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA; n = 446) to analyze 30-day outcomes. RESULTS From 1,077 patients (mean age, 44 years; 45 % female; 7 % emergent), a laparoscopic approach was used in 29.2 %, with rates increasing 8.5 % each year (18.5 % in 2005 to 41.3 % in 2008, P < 0.001). Complications occurred in 29 %, and laparoscopy was associated with a lower complication rate (21 vs. 32 % open, P < 0.001). On multivariate regression, postoperative complications increased when patients were not functionally independent [odds ratio (OR) = 3.2], had preoperative sepsis (OR = 2.0), or prior percutaneous coronary intervention (OR = 2.8). A laparoscopic approach was associated with a lower complication rate (OR = 0.63). When stratified by specific complications, laparoscopy was associated with lower complications, including superficial surgical site infections (11.4 vs. 6.7 %, P = 0.0011), pneumonia (2.9 vs. 0.6 %, P = 0.023), prolonged mechanical ventilation (3.9 vs. 1.3 %, P = 0.023), need for transfusions postoperatively (1.6 vs. 0 %, P = 0.016), and severe sepsis (2.9 vs. 1.0 %, P = 0.039). Laparoscopy was also was associated with a lower complication rate in TACs (41.7 vs. 18.8 %, P < 0.0001) and IPAA (29.9 vs. 18.2 %, P = 0.005) and had an overall lower mortality rate (0.2 vs. 1.7 %, P = 0.046). CONCLUSIONS Results from a large nationwide database demonstrate that a laparoscopic approach was utilized in an increasing number of UC patients undergoing colectomy and was associated with lower morbidity and mortality, even in more complex procedures, such as TAC and IPAA.

Abstract
PURPOSES The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit of straight laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy (sLRP) with ileal pouch anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS Twenty patients underwent sLRP or open restorative proctocolectomy. The 2 groups were retrospectively well matched with respect to sex, body mass index, and American Society of Anesthesiologists' score. RESULTS The median operative time was longer in the sLRP group (P=0.0003). The median operative blood loss was significantly less in the sLRP group (P=0.0054). The median analgesic drug usage during the first 7 days after surgery was lower in the sLRP group (P=0.038). There were no differences in morbidity rates and long-term functional outcome measures between the groups. CONCLUSIONS An sLRP for UC has the advantage over an open restorative proctocolectomy of better short-term outcomes, and both groups have similar long-term outcomes. This procedure is acceptable for minimally invasive surgery in patients with UC.

Abstract
Recently introduced in the treatment algorithms and guidelines for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, biological therapy is an effective treatment option for patients with an acute severe flare not responsive to conventional treatments and for patients with steroid dependent disease. The reduction in hospitalization and surgical intervention for patients affected by ulcerative colitis after the introduction of biologic treatment remains to be proven. Furthermore, these agents seem to be associated with increase in cost of treatment and risk for serious postoperative complications. Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is the surgical treatment of choice in ulcerative colitis patients. Surgery is traditionally recommended as salvage therapy when medical management fails, and, despite advances in medical therapy, colectomy rates remain unchanged between 20% and 30%. To overcome the reported increase in postoperative complications in patients on biologic therapies, several surgical strategies have been developed to maintain long-term pouch failure rate around 10%, as previously reported. Surgical staging along with the development of minimally invasive surgery are among the most promising advances in this field.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total abdominal colectomy is the procedure of choice for debilitated patients with acute, medical refractory ulcerative colitis in our practice. A laparoscopic approach has been previously shown to be safe and effective, and has become our preferred strategy. This study illustrates the laparoscopic evolution towards a truly minimally invasive approach comparing three phases of a single colorectal surgeon experience. MATERIAL AND METHODS In May 2010 single incision laparoscopy was introduced in our practice and has become our preferred approach. Ten consecutive ulcerative colitis patients were case matched and compared with 10 previous laparoscopic-assisted (Feb 2003-Jan 2007) and 10 hand-assisted (Feb 2006-Apr 2010) total abdominal colectomies. Patient, disease and surgery-related factors were analyzed and short-term outcomes were compared. RESULTS Given the study design, there were no differences in demographics, smoking history, disease duration and severity, nutritional and inflammatory parameters, and indication for surgery between groups. Single incision patients were more likely to have received immunosuppressive therapy within 30 days of the surgery (p = 0.016). In the single incision group we noticed significantly shorter duration of surgery (p < 0.001) and faster resumption of solid diet (p = 0.019) compared to the other groups. Other short-term outcomes did not differ between groups. CONCLUSION Single incision laparoscopy offers a safe alternative to other laparoscopic approaches. Despite the higher technical complexity, the duration of surgery is shorter with faster resumption of oral intake. Studies with larger sample size and longer follow-up will be required to confirm the benefits of this approach.

Abstract
PURPOSE Crohn's disease is established in laparoscopic surgery due to partial bowel dissection and low postoperative complication rate. However, laparoscopic surgery for ulcerative colitis remains further discussed even if the trend of minimally invasive technique exists. This study is to figure out how laparoscopic surgery works for ulcerative colitis. METHODS Sixteen controlled trials were identified through the search strategy mentioned below. There was only one prospective randomized study among the studies selected. A meta-analysis pooled the outcome effects of laparoscopic surgery and open surgery was performed. Fixed effect model or random effect model was respectively used depending on the heterogeneity test of trials. RESULTS Postoperative fasting time and postoperative hospital stay were shorter in laparoscopic surgery for ulcerative colitis (-1.37 [-2.15, -0.58], -3.22 [-4.20, -2.24], respectively, P < 0.05). Overall complication rate was higher in open surgery, compared with laparoscopic surgery (54.8% versus 39.3%, P = 0.004). However, duration of laparoscopic surgery for ulcerative colitis was extended compared with open surgery (weighted mean difference 69.29 min, P = 0.04). As to recovery of bowel function, peritoneal abscess, anastomotic leakage, postoperative bowel obstruction, wound infection, blood loss, and mortality, laparoscopic surgery did not show any superiority over open surgery. Re-operation rate was almost even (5.2% versus 7.3%). The whole conversion to open surgery was 4.2%. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic surgery for ulcerative colitis was at least as safe as open surgery, even better in postoperative fasting time, postoperative hospital stay, and overall complication rate. However, clinical value of laparoscopic surgery for ulcerative colitis needed further evaluation with more well-designed and long-term follow-up studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The utility and efficacy of the laparoscopic approach to the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children are not clearly known. METHODS We conducted a retrospective descriptive cohort study of children with a diagnosis of IBD who underwent a laparoscopic or laparoscopy-assisted procedure at a quaternary pediatric referral center between 1999 and 2007. RESULTS One-hundred thirty-six children underwent 154 operations (85 small bowel/ileocolic and 69 colorectal) over the 8 years of the study. Median age was 14.8 years (range = 1.8-18.8). The diagnosis was Crohn's disease in 83, ulcerative colitis in 50, and indeterminate colitis in 3. Median time to regular diet was 5 days (range = 1-19), and median postoperative stay was 7 days (range = 1-70). Seven patients undergoing a small bowel/ileocolic resection (8.2%) were converted to an open procedure. Overall morbidity for the small bowel/ileocolic procedures was 27.1%. The conversion rate during subtotal colectomy (STC) was 7.1% (3/42), and it was 0% for the 22 patients who underwent ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) procedures. Overall morbidity associated with STC was 62.8%, and following IPAA it was 63.6%. Sixteen percent (7/69) of those who underwent a colorectal procedure developed a late postoperative bowel obstruction with three patients requiring operative intervention. CONCLUSION A laparoscopic approach is feasible with a low conversion rate in most children with IBD. Despite superior cosmesis, perioperative morbidity is similar to that seen with open procedures. Laparoscopic colorectal IBD procedures are associated with an unexpectedly high incidence of postoperative bowel obstruction, although the rates are comparable to those seen with open surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This prospective study aimed to analyze the functional outcome after a two-stage laparoscopic total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS From May 1999 to May 2008, 68 consecutive two-stage laparoscopic total proctocolectomies with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis were performed (ulcerative colitis: n = 61; familial adenomatous polyposis: n = 7). A covering ileostomy was used in all patients. Forty patients whose covering ileostomy had been closed for a minimum of 2 years were included in this series. RESULTS Conversion to laparotomy was necessary in 4 of 40 patients (10%). Thirteen postoperative complications occurred in 13 of 40 patients (30%). At a median follow-up of 38 months (range, 26-90), the median number of bowel movements was 4 per 24 hours (range, 2-10); 15 patients (38%) had no nighttime bowel movements. None of the patients had fecal incontinence or urgency. Thirty-four of the 40 patients (85%) experienced no soiling. Seven patients (18%) took regular antidiarrheal medication. All patients were able to resume all activities practiced prior to illness onset, and 36 of 40 (90%) were satisfied with their overall quality of life (very good or good). CONCLUSION Laparoscopic total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis provides satisfying mid-term functional outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total proctocolectomy with Brooke ileostomy remains the optimal surgical procedure for select ulcerative colitis patients. However, few studies describe outcomes of minimally invasive total proctocolectomy with Brooke ileostomy. Our aim was to describe the safety and feasibility of these procedures by examining short-term (30-day) outcomes. METHODS Using a prospective database, we identified a cohort of patients who underwent laparoscopic total proctocolectomy with Brooke ileostomy at our institution from 2000-2007. Results are reported as median (range) or frequency (proportion). RESULTS Forty-four patients were included; age 65 years (54-73), 24 were male (55%), body mass index was 26.5 (22.1-30.2) kg/m(2). Colitis duration was 66 months (24-240), and 40% had prior surgery. The indication for surgery was refractory colitis (82%) and neoplasia (18%). Factors influencing choice of total proctocolectomy with permanent ileostomy were advanced age in 18 (41%), lifestyle in 13 (30%), medical comorbidities in 11 (25%), fecal incontinence in 10 (23%), oncologic reasons in 3 (6.8%), and obesity in 3 (6.8%). Twenty-three (52%) operations were hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery, 13 (30%) were laparoscopic-assisted, and 8 (18%) were "laparoscopic-incisionless" with transanal specimen extraction. Two laparoscopic-assisted cases (4.6%) were converted. Operative time was 329 (272-402) minutes, and length of stay 5 (4-6) days. Major post-operative complications occurred in 4 (9%); there were no perioperative mortalities. CONCLUSIONS Minimally invasive total proctocolectomy with Brooke ileostomy is a safe, feasible option for the surgical treatment of chronic ulcerative colitis, and is the procedure of choice for select patients.

BACKGROUND Restorative proctocolectomy with ileo pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the main surgical treatment for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). With the advancements of minimal-invasive surgery this demanding operation is increasingly being performed laparoscopically. Therefore, the presumed benefits of the laparoscopic approach need to be systematically evaluated. OBJECTIVES To compare the beneficial and harmful effects of laparoscopic versus open IPAA for patients with UC and FAP. SEARCH STRATEGY We searched The Cochrane IBD/FBD Group Specialized Trial Register (April 2007), The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2007), MEDLINE (1990 to April 2007), EMBASE (1990 to April 2007), ISI Web of Knowledge (1990 to April 2007) and the web casts of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) (up to 2006) for all trials comparing open versus laparoscopic IPAA. SELECTION CRITERIA All trials in patients with UC or FAP comparing any kind of laparoscopic IPAA versus open IPAA. No language limitations were applied. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two authors independently performed selection of trials and data extraction. The methodological quality of all included trials was evaluated to assess bias risk. Analysis of RCTs and non-RCTs was performed separately. Analyses were based on the intention-to-treat principle. Authors were requested additional information in case of missing data. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were performed if appropriate. MAIN RESULTS Eleven trials included 607 patients of whom 253 (41%) in the laparoscopic IPAA group. Only one of the included trials was a randomised controlled trial. There were no significant differences in mortality or complications between the two groups. Reoperation and readmission rates were not significantly different. Operative time was significantly longer in the laparoscopic group both in the RCT and meta-analysis of non-RCTs (weighted mean difference (WMD) 91 minutes; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 53 to 130). There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding postoperative recovery parameters. Total incision length was significantly shorter in the laparoscopic group, while two trials evaluating cosmesis found significantly higher cosmesis scores in the laparoscopic group. Other long-term outcomes were poorly reported. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS The laparoscopic IPAA is a feasible and safe procedure. Short-term advantages of the laparoscopic approach seem to be limited and their clinical significance is arguable. Large high-quality trials focusing on differences regarding specific postoperative complications, cosmesis, quality of life and costs are needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Laparoscopic surgery for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is technically demanding but can offer improved short-term outcomes. The introduction of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) as the default operative approach for IBD, however, may have inherent learning curve-associated disadvantages. We hypothesise that the establishment of MIS as the standard operative approach does not increase patient morbidity as assessed in the initial period of its introduction into a specialised unit, and that it confers earlier postoperative gastrointestinal recovery and reduced hospitalisation compared with conventional open resection. METHOD A case-control study was undertaken on laparoscopic resection (LR) vs open colon resection (OR) for IBD. The LR group was collated prospectively and compared with a pathologically matched historical control set. Outcomes measured included: postoperative length of stay, time to normal bowel function and postoperative morbidity. Statistical analysis was performed using spss. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients were investigated (14 LR, 14 OR). The two groups were matched for type of operation, type of disease and age. There were no conversions in the LR group. Morbidity and readmissions did not differ significantly between the groups. Those undergoing laparoscopic resection had a quicker return to diet (median 2 vs 4 days; P = 0.000002), time to first bowel motion (2 vs 4 days; P = 0.019) and shorter postoperative length of stay (5.5 vs 12.5; P = 0.0067). CONCLUSION These findings support the routine use of MIS for the elective surgical management of IBD in our department. Patients undergoing laparoscopic colectomies for IBD can expect faster return of gastrointestinal function and shorter hospitalisation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Restorative proctocolectomy is a standard treatment for colorectal diseases over decades. At present, this technique is frequently performed via minimal invasive approach. Most reported techniques of laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy involved a Pfannenstiel incision for the major part of the operation to be performed openly; a double-stapled pouch anal anastomosis technique and protective ileostomy. This study was designed to demonstrate the modification of this technique. METHODS This was a retrospective study of seven patients (4 had ulcerative colitis and 3 had familial adenomatous polyposis) who underwent laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital between September 2004 and February 2007. The details of the procedure are shown in the video. The techniques involve the following: full mobilization of entire colon and rectum using medial to lateral approach, division of submesenteric arcades for ileal pouch elongation with preservation of three to four inner most arcades of distal ileum segment and preservation of both superior mesenteric and ileocolic trunk, ileal pouch construction via a small (3-4 cm) McBurney incision, transanal mucosectomy with removal of the entire rectum and colon transanally, and handsewn ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. None of the patients underwent protective ileostomy. RESULTS Mean surgical time was 360 (270-510) minutes, and median blood loss was 230 (100-400) ml. There were neither conversions nor intraoperative surgical complications. However, one patient developed small-bowel obstruction, which was successfully treated by laparoscopic approach. Anastomotic leakage was not found in this series. All patients have good control of their bowel movement as well as a very good cosmetic result during the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy with small McBurney incision for ileal pouch construction, without protective ileostomy, is technically feasible and safe.

Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is now accepted as equally valid as the use of a standard access in some areas of surgery. It is not possible to decide whether this access is economically worthwhile and if so for whom without a full economic cost-benefit analysis, which must take account of the hospital's own characteristics in addition to the cost involved for surgery, staff, infrastructure and administration. In summary, the main economic advantage of MIS lies in the patient-related early postoperative results, while the main disadvantage is that the operative material costs are higher. At present, the payment made for each procedure performed under the DRG system includes 14-17% of the total cost for materials, regardless of the access route and of the technical sophistication of the operation. The actual material costs are greater by a factor of 2-50 for MIS than for a conventional procedure. The task of the hospital is thus to lower the costs for material and infrastructure; that of industry is to offer less expensive alternatives; and that of our politicians, to implement better remuneration of the material costs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since 1977, restorative proctocolectomy with ileoanal anastomosis (IAA) has evolved into the surgical treatment of choice for most patients with intractable ulcerative colitis. Construction of an ileal pouch reservoir is now standard, usually in the form of J pouch (IPAA). The aim of this report is to review selection criteria for, and functional outcomes, follow-up and management of complications of IPAA after 30 years of widespread clinical application. METHODS AND RESULTS Literature published in English on the clinical indications, surgical technique, morbidity, complications and outcome following IAA and IPAA was sourced by electronic search, performed independently by two reviewers who selected potentially relevant papers based on title and abstract. Additional articles were identified by cross-referencing from papers retrieved in the initial search. CONCLUSION The functional results of IPAA are good. Pouchitis, irritable pouch syndrome and cuffitis are specific long-term complications but rarely result in failure. Pouch salvage is possible in selected patients with poor functional outcomes. One-stage operations are increasingly performed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since the introduction of laparoscopic colectomy in 1991, experience in laparoscopic bowel surgery has gradually increased. Several reports from specialized centers have demonstrated that laparoscopic colorectal resections are feasible and safe, providing an acceptable alternative to laparotomy for a variety of diseases. Some studies have shown the feasibility, safety, and good functional outcome of the minimally invasive procedures for ulcerative colitis (UC) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). No known studies have investigated laparoscopic proctocolectomy in México. This report aims to describe the first laparoscopic proctocolectomies with ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) performed at the Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Medicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán (INCMNSZ). METHODS All the patients in the authors' institution who underwent a one- or two-stage laparoscopic total proctocolectomy with IPAA between June 2005 and December 2006 were included in the study. All the operations were performed by the same surgeon, who had already completed the learning curve for colorectal laparoscopic procedures. RESULTS For the study, 10 patients underwent a laparoscopic proctocolectomy with IPAA by a single surgeon. Eight of the patients underwent a one-stage procedure, whereas two patients with severe colitis underwent a two-step procedure. All the cases were managed with a diverting loop ileostomy. Six patients underwent a standard double-stapled IPAA anastomosis, and two patients with FAP underwent a mucosectomy with a manual IPAA anastomosis. The mean operative time was 187 min, and the mean blood loss was 46 ml. There were two postoperative complications. One patient presented with an early small bowel obstruction due to an internal hernia, which required reoperation. The other complication was a wound infection. The mean return to oral intake was 1.5 days, and the mean length of hospital stay was 3.4 days. CONCLUSION Although this was not a comparative study and although sample size imposed limitations, with this preliminary data, we conclude that the laparoscopic approach to UC and FAP at our institution is safe, feasible, and effective. However, to achieve the benefits in postoperative outcome, this procedure should be performed only by experienced laparoscopic surgeons.
