the duodenum can be visualized through the cephalad mesenteric window, and a transverse line of dissection can be estimated across the base of the ileocolic pedi­cle, in line with the lateral margin of the duodenum (Fig.2.15). In the heavier patient (BMI >30), the anatomy is often difcult to discern. After a transverse scoring inci­sion is made across the medial peritoneum of the right colon, over the estimated base of the ileocolic pedicle; careful dissection is employed to achieve two aims: isolation of the base of the ileocolic pedicle and identication of the retroperitoneal plane by using gentle sweeping actions to elevate the posterior aspect of the mesen­tery off the retroperitoneum. Once the base of the ileocolic pedicle is identied, the vein and artery can be dissected separately and divided using an electrocautery device (Fig.2.16). For benign disease, the artery and vein can often be divided together using an advanced energy or stapling device. Many surgeons also prefer the addition of an endoloop to conrm control of the vascular supply.
Dissection then continues in the correct retroperitoneal plane, sweeping the right
ureter, IVC, gonadal vessel, and duodenum posteriorly while elevating the right colon and extending the plane of dissection to the right lateral peritoneal reection. The mesenteric transection is carried towards the chosen proximal margin in the distal ileum and also towards the chosen distal resection margin in the colon. Full mobilization is extended laterally to the right lateral peritoneal reection which is then also divided. As entry into this plane is somewhat by trial and error, without the landmark provided by the right lateral peritoneal reection, videos of this approach tend to have a more bloody exposure, other than in expert hands.In patients with

Crohn’s disease, division of the mesentery can be challenging due to marked thick­ening and also friability if steroids have been used. Transection of the mesentery may be safer near the base of the ileocolic pedicle where mesenteric thickening is less prominent, or the mesentery may be more safely approached extracorporeally after exteriorization of the mobilized right colon.
Proponents of this approach indicate early vascular control as an important fea-
ture. The lymph node harvest may be greater [7] although the oncologic signi­cance of more than 12 lymph nodes is as yet unclear.
Top-Down Approach
This approach is a variant of the lateral-to-medial approach described above except that it starts at the hepatic exure rather than at the cecum. This is slightly more technically challenging than starting at the cecum, as there is no peritoneal reec­tion. This is an attractive option when inammation from ileocolic Crohn’s disease or a desmoplastic reaction from a cecal cancer obscures the retrocecal plane.
Transection andAnastomosis oftheRight Colon
Decisions regarding transection margins, and intra- versus extracorporeal anasto­mosis, are often decided ahead of time based on the patient’s underlying diagnosis and pathology. It is important, however, to be able to adjust the operative approach as indicated by intraoperative ndings. In the case of ileocolic Crohn’s disease, the distal transection margin is generally somewhere in the ascending colon, as deter­mined by the extent of disease. Mobilization of the hepatic exure is still helpful, not to obtain margins but in order to obtain adequate length to perform a long side­to-side anastomosis if that is the preferred method.
For the novice and intermediate surgeon, laparoscopic mobilization is the mini-
mum necessary to make the distal ileum, right colon, and proximal transverse colon a mobile section of bowel that, in a patient of BMI <25–30, can be exteriorized through a periumbilical incision with the resection and anastomosis performed extracorpore­ally. Patients with a higher BMI should have the vascular pedicle and mesentery divided intracorporeally, and this allows the anastomosis to be performed extra- or intracorporeally without tension and pulling on the middle colic vessels. Intracorporeal anastomosis, addressed in a separate chapter, requires more advanced skills [810].
With regard to extraction incisions, the easiest incision to use is a periumbilical
incision. This requires only mobilization of the right colon to the midline, at which point it is now a midline structure and can be easily exteriorized. However, this inci­sion is associated with a higher subsequent incisional hernia rate [11]. Transection of the mesentery and vasculature intracorporeally allow additional choices in terms of an extraction incision, and a right lower quadrant or even a Pfannenstiel incision can be employed. Use of a wound protector may reduce the risk of surgical site infection. Transrectal extraction has been described for specic distal colonic and rectal procedures, but is not advocated for right-sided procedures and requires intra­corporeal anastomosis.

Pitfalls andTroubleshooting
Troubleshooting is the forethought given to avoiding pitfalls! Difculties can poten­tially be anticipated in certain settings: uncertain location of lesion, obesity, and inammation.
A common error with both lateral and medial approaches is straying from the
correct retroperitoneal plane, which can disrupt either the complete mesenteric excision plane by being too supercial or dissect too deeply into the retroperito­neum risking injury to the right ureter, inferior vena cava, or duodenum. With the lateral approach, being both too lateral and too deep can incur the risk of undermin­ing the right kidney.
A bulky mass or extensive inammation should prompt a very close look on CT
scan at the relationship to the ureter, and consideration should be given to placement of ureteral stents to assist intraoperative identication of the ureter.
While T4 malignancies and large Crohn’s phlegmons can be approached laparo-
scopically by an experienced surgeon, these are not cases for the novice laparo­scopic surgeon and should prompt conversion if they were not anticipated preoperatively. Other indications for conversion are inability to nd the correct tis­sue planes, concern regarding injury to the ureter, IVC or duodenum, and uncon­trolled bleeding. Failure to make progress with the procedure is also an indication to convert.
Learning curves are a popular way of conveying the potential difculty of learn-
ing a procedure. For a straightforward right colectomy, in the absence of complex anatomy or pathology, a trainee who is capable of performing a laparoscopic chole­cystectomy should be able to develop the skills for right colectomy, as described here with extracorporeal anastomosis, within 5–10 cases. More complex techniques, such as single-incision right colectomy [12], intracorporeal anastomosis, and com­plete mesorectal excision, have longer learning curves which are yet to be dened.

Outcomes

Most level 1 evidence for the role of laparoscopy in colorectal surgery has focused on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for colon cancer and subsequently for rectal cancer. There is less evidence for benign disease. For example, a Cochrane review found only two RCTs for ileocolic Crohn’s disease, involving 120 patients, and concluded that there was no signicant difference in perioperative outcomes and long-term reoperation rates for disease-related or non-disease-related complications of Crohn’s disease. Multiple cohort studies exist, however, that cumulatively sup­port the benets of a laparoscopic approach, to the point where RCTs became untenable from the perspective of assuming equipoise. In other words, repeated, consistent, believable evidence from reliable experts led to the situation whereby it would not be possible to devise a RCT where the investigator truly believed that it was unknown whether either arm of a laparoscopic vs open RCT would show improved outcomes.

Laparoscopic approaches gained acceptance with reported advantages of faster
return to normal activity and diet, reduced hospital stay, reduced postoperative pain, and better cosmesis. Longer-term, laparoscopic surgery has shown smaller abdomi­nal fascial wounds, lower incidence of hernias, and decreased rates of small bowel obstruction from adhesions (Table2.3).
Although evidence accumulated re. potential improved outcomes from laparos-
copy, there also came concerns related to the loss of tactile evaluation of the bowel, i.e., missing occult segments of Crohn’s disease and inability to palpate a polyp which would not have visible serosal manifestations. These issues are usually addressed by the exhortation to dene anatomy preoperatively, e.g., CT enterogra­phy to elicit evidence of proximal small bowel disease in Crohn’s, and use of tattoo­ing, CT colonography, and intraoperative endoscopy to localize polyps.

Conclusions

Laparoscopic right colectomy for benign disease is a good starting point for those learning the skills necessary for minimally invasive colorectal surgery, including not just trainees but also surgeons already experienced in open colorectal proce­dures but wishing to develop laparoscopic skills. Operative planning, OR setup, patient positioning, and trocar placement are important components of a successful operation that also recognizes correct tissue planes, resection margins, anastomotic technique, and specimen retrieval.

Introduction andRationale
Laparoscopic colectomy was rst described in the early 1990s. The rst randomized trials evaluating laparoscopic colectomy versus open surgery were in patients with malignant disease. These trials demonstrated less blood loss, earlier recovery of bowel function, less need for narcotics, and a shorter length of stay for patients who had procedures performed laparoscopically [15]. Because of the inammatory nature of most benign conditions prompting colectomy, there was some hesitation regarding the feasibility of a laparoscopic approach for these indications. Slowly, data evaluating laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy in patients with diverticulitis accu­mulated [610]. These studies demonstrated that laparoscopic left or sigmoid colec­tomy is possible in patients with diverticular disease with an increased operative time compared to open surgery, a decreased length of stay, and a decreased compli­cation prole. They also demonstrated that conversion is less for surgeons who uti­lized a hand-assisted laparoscopic approach. Using these two approaches, straight laparoscopy and hand-assisted laparoscopy, most patients with diverticular disease requiring sigmoid colectomy can undergo surgery in a minimally invasive fashion. This chapter details the indications, operative technique, and outcomes of studies evaluating laparoscopic and hand-assisted laparoscopic (HAL) sigmoid and left col­ectomy for benign disease.

Indications andContraindications
The most common benign condition that prompts left or sigmoid colectomy is the many manifestations of diverticulitis including recurrent disease, smoldering dis­ease, colovesical/colovaginal stula, or stricture. Other benign conditions prompt­ing an elective left or sigmoid colectomy include Crohn’s colitis, ischemic colitis, endometriosis, or diverticular bleeding. As diverticulitis is the most commonly seen disorder requiring left or sigmoid colectomy in benign disease, this chapter will focus on this indication.
In the past, the inammation and scarring associated with the chronic manifestations of diverticular disease prompted many surgeons to shy away from minimally invasive approaches. However, increasing experience with both hand­assisted laparoscopy and straight laparoscopy has prompted minimally invasive techniques to be the mainstay of treating this condition. In our practice, for repeated attacks of uncomplicated diverticulitis, we proceed with a straight laparoscopic approach with a planned extraction through a small Pfannenstiel incision. For patients with a body mass index greater than 30kg/m for a straight laparoscopic case is relatively similar to a hand-assisted incision. So, for this reason, for morbidly obese patients, we utilize a hand-assisted approach. Additionally, for any patient with a history of complicated diverticulitis including abscess, phlegmon, or stula, a hand-assisted laparoscopic approach can be particularly helpful to facilitate blunt dissection and identify the correct surgical planes.
There are very few contraindications to approaching benign conditions of the left and sigmoid colon using a laparoscopic approach. Contraindications include patients who are unable to tolerate laparoscopy or steep changes in operating room table positioning. A relative contraindication is the presence of dense or extensive adhesions associated with a prior history of open laparotomy in the past. With expe­rience, however, most laparoscopic surgeons will attempt a laparoscopic approach, even in the setting of previous open surgery. Extreme caution should be taken when entering the reoperative abdomen in order to avoid an injury, especially in the set­ting of prior peritonitis, prior intraabdominal bleeding, or previous mesh placement, which may result in formation of dense adhesions. If the abdomen proves to be hostile, conversion to an open procedure should quickly be decided.

Principles andQuality Benchmarks oftheApproach/Technique
The principles of resection for diverticular disease are the same in laparoscopic approaches as they are in open approaches: isolation and ligation of the sigmoid pedicle, mobilization of the left and sigmoid colon including takedown of the splenic exure, proximal transection, distal transection at the proximal rectum, and anasto­mosis. For diverticular disease, there are additional parameters including the perfor­mance of an adequate colon resection to minimize recurrence of disease and an attempt to decrease the risk of common complications of sigmoid resection. In our

practice, to assist in reducing the risk of recurrence of diverticular disease, all prior CT scans are evaluated to assess the proximal extent of disease. Any portion of the bowel that has been involved in previous inammation/diverticulitis attacks is included in the planned resection. Once in the operating room, prior to initiating the mobilization of the bowel, the bowel is palpated to assess for chronic thickening or acute inammation. The proximal transection margin does not need to be so proxi­mal so as to include all diverticula, it just needs to be proximal enough to include all areas of previous inammation. It should also be on soft, pliable bowel with soft pliable mesentery. The planned proximal colon transection can be marked (using an ink pen tip, clip, or cautery) at the start of the operation. This will ensure that the appropriate proximal margin is achieved which can be more challenging to deter­mine once the colon and its mesentery are fully mobilized. The distal transection margin should be on the proximal rectum. This is identied by the splaying of the taeniae (Fig.3.1a, b). A colorectal rather than a colosigmoid anastomosis is believed to be the single most important factor in decreasing the chance of recurrent diverticu­lar disease [11, 12].
In addition to providing an adequate resection, a principle of left/sigmoid resection for benign disease is to avoid a high ligation of the sigmoid pedicle. The avoidance of a high ligation decreases the risk of ureteral injury and hypogastric nerve injury. Some studies have indicated that avoiding a high ligation of the pedicle decreases the chance of anastomotic leak [13]. Other studies have not conrmed this association [14]. However, in our practice for benign disease, we preserve the sig­moid pedicle given this concern.
Preoperative Planning, Patient Work-Up, andOptimization
In the planning of a minimally invasive approach to surgical resection for diverticulitis, a number of factors must be considered preoperatively. For those patients whom have not had a colonoscopy in the 2years prior to resection, repeat endoscopic evaluation is warranted. Some of our surgeons will perform an on-table colonoscopy on the day of surgery in order to avoid repeating a bowel preparation.

J. T. Saraidaridis and P. W. Marcello
For patients with complicated diverticulitis, additional factors must be taken into account preoperatively. Patients with residual diverticular abscess and/or stula will keep their percutaneous drain up until the time of surgery. The drain will be prepped into the eld and then removed once the abdomen has been entered. For those patients with suspected colovesical stula, cystoscopy and ureteral stent placement are usually performed just prior to surgery. If the stula takedown results in a blad­der defect, it should be repaired with sutures. In regard to ureteral stent usage in the absence of colovesical stula, the decision to place stents prophylactically is up to the individual surgeon. In general, when signicant inammation and/or residual phlegmon, abscess, or stula is anticipated, left-sided stents are usually placed pro­phylactically to minimize the risk of an unrecognized ureteral injury.
All prior abdominal scars should be evaluated as potential extraction sites. Patients are educated about enhanced recovery pathways including non-opioid pain relief alternatives, early ambulation, and early resumption of diet. All of our patients undergoing elective colon surgery undergo mechanical and antibiotic bowel prepa­ration the day before surgery. Please refer to the chapters on enhanced recovery protocol in colorectal surgery for more details on this topic (Chaps. 7 and 8).

Operative Setup

Patients are placed on a bean bag in a modied lithotomy position on a split-leg table. The arms are tucked at the sides and surrounded by foam padding and an inated bean bag. The chest is wrapped circumferentially three times with three­inch silk tape afxing them to the table. The legs are split with the buttock at the bottom of the table to allow for trans-anal access, and then the legs are secured in place with Velcro straps. Patients are given subcutaneous heparin, and sequential compression devices are applied for deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis. Antibiotics are administered less than 1hour prior to surgical incision. We use both monopolar cautery and the bipolar vessel sealer as our energy sources. Both of these instruments are placed on the eld at the initiation of the case. A CO is available as needed for the procedure. Most cases are initiated with a colono­scopic evaluation of the colon. The Foley catheter is placed after colonoscopy in women to avoid risk of urinary tract infection as our group found that there was contamination of the catheter from colonoscopy if it had been placed pre-procedure. The catheter is draped over the leg to reduce contamination from the passage of staplers and endoscopes trans-anally.

Operative Technique

Port Placement
For straight laparoscopic procedures, a 12mm Hassan port is placed in the umbilicus. 5mm ports are placed in the right upper quadrant, the right lower quadrant, and the

left lower quadrant (Fig.3.2). Extraction is most often performed through a small Pfannenstiel incision or via an extension of the Hassan port site.
For a hand-assisted approach, the operation begins with the creation of an incision for the hand-port. Early along the learning curve of hand-assisted, an 8cm lower midline incision is recommended in the case that conversion is required. Once the surgeon is comfortable with a hand-assisted approach, a Pfannenstiel incision 2 cm above the pubis is the preferred approach. The incision is cosmetically pleasing, has an extremely low risk of incisional hernia, and is an excellent incision to work in the pelvis where further dissection or an anastomosis can be completed. The hand device is placed into the incision, and then three 5mm trocars are placed
