Description
How does laparoscopic sigmoid colon removal compare with open sigmoidectomy?
This 60-second video explains six key comparisons: access incisions, postoperative pain, return of bowel function, hospital stay, early recovery and individual safety planning.
Sigmoidectomy removes the affected sigmoid colon for conditions such as diverticular disease or cancer. For suitable patients, laparoscopy generally offers smaller incisions, less wound pain and quicker early recovery.
Both approaches carry risks, including bleeding, infection and leakage from a bowel connection. A temporary or permanent stoma may be required depending on the condition and operation.
Open surgery or conversion may be necessary for safety. For cancer, adequate tumour removal and lymph node assessment remain priorities with either approach.
