Robotic Reversal of Hartmann's Procedure

Ovunc Bardakcioglu. Clin Colon Rectal Surg. 2021 Sep.

Abstract

The Hartmann's procedure first described in 1920 is a gold standard for a variety of emergent procedures of the sigmoid colon. A standardized approach to a robotic reversal of a Hartmann's procedure is described to reestablish bowel continuity.

Keywords: Hartmann's reversal; colorectal surgery; robotic surgery.
