چکیده
Development of miniaturized real-time imaging technologies has revolutionized the surgical specialties. As improbable as it first seemed, elimination of the long incision for intraabdominal access resulted in a dramatic reduction in hospital stay for open surgery. Minimal access surgery resulted in decreased postoperative pain and decreased morbidity as well as improved cosmesis. Bikini surgery was no longer limited to those who wore bikinis.

Although the first reported laparoscopic assisted colectomy was in 1991 [1], the number of laparoscopic colonic procedures remained a minority of colonic resections. This was attributed to the fact that laparoscopic colectomy is technically challenging and demands a long learning curve. Therefore, hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) was advocated as a useful alternative to laparoscopic co...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to systematically assess the clinical efficacy of hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) and laparoscopic right colectomy (LRC). METHODS The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs were collected by searching electronic databases (Pubmed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library). The outcomes included intraoperative outcomes, postoperative outcome...
