Robotic-assisted reversal of Hartmann’s procedure for diverticulitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The minimally invasive laparoscopic approach for the reversal of Hartmann's procedure (HP) has been shown to be a safe and feasible approach associated with low morbidity and fast recovery. Robotic surgery has not yet been described for HP reversal. We report the case of an 84-year-old man originally operated on in an emergency setting by conventional HP for complicated diverticulitis who underwent a robotic-assisted HP reversal. The surgical procedure and the post-operative follow-up were uneventful, with low post-operative pain, early return to bowel function, and discharge at day 3. The robotic surgery appeared to be a safe, feasible, and valuable approach for HP reversal.

Acute Care Surgery
The optimal management of fulminant or complicated diverticulitis is the subject of debate in recent literature. The most common management strategy remains resection and end colostomy or Hartmann’s procedure, first introduced in the 1940s, despite the introduction of more current approaches supported by decreased morbidity and mortality by various studies. The purpose of this paper is to provi...

The introduction of circular end-to-end stapling devices (CEEA OR EEA stapler) into colorectal surgery have revolutionised anastomotic techniques. The EEA stapler is generally regarded as an instrument that is safe, reliable, and simple to operate. Despite it's popularity, very little information is available regarding the technical difficulties encountered during surgery. The routine technique...
متن کاملNon-Elective Surgery for Acute Complicated Diverticulitis. Primary Resection-Anastomosis or Hartmann’s Procedure? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Colonic diverticulosis is a common condition in the Western world and its incidence increases substantially with age. It was estimated that in patients older than age 60 years, 50% have diverticulosis [1,2]. Surgeons’ interest for this disease is related to the treatment of the complications of diverticulitis (perforation, occlusion, bleeding). About 25% of patients hospitalized for diverticuli...

Objective: Reversal of Hartmann’s procedure is a difficult surgical exercise with significant morbidity and mortality. One of the difficulties encountered during surgery is the presence of a very short rectal stump. Materials and methods: We present two cases where the patients underwent a Hartmann’s procedure for abortion induced colonic injury and a subsequent failed attempt at reversal. The ...
