Robotic Hartmann's reversal-feasibility and technical aspects

Mirko Barone et al. Updates Surg. 2023 Dec.

Abstract

Hartmann's reversal as a staged procedure after emergency surgery is a major abdominal operation with undeniable skill-demanding steps. The robotic approach and its advantages seem to be a safe and feasible technique and could overcome necessary technical compromises of laparoscopy, ensuring a significant reduction in restoration failures or conversion.

Keywords: Colorectal anastomosis; Hartmann’s procedure; Robotic surgery.
