Abstract
The use of minimally invasive approaches to colorectal pathologies has significantly increased in the past three decades. The benefits include faster recovery and better cosmetic results without an increase in complications or inferior oncologic outcomes. Hand assisted total abdominal colectomy is the most obvious example of a procedure that if done open would require a long and disfiguring incision and instead can now be done through a small suprapubic mini laparotomy.
