Nonrestoration of pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic-assisted left colon resection.

Abstract
Laparoscopic-assisted left colon resection entails reestablishing pneumoperitoneum and laparoscopic colorectal anastomosing, if performed through a left lower-quadrant incision. A horizontal suprapubic incision allows direct view of the colorectal anastomosis obviating the need for reestablishing pneumoperitoneum. Performing colorectal anastomoses in an open fashion via a suprapubic incision and with nonrestoration of pneumoperitoneum will contain operating time in laparoscopic-assisted left colectomy.
