Chassin's Operative Strategy in General Surgery

Abstract

Minimally invasive surgery has been shown to provide short- and long-term value to patients and the healthcare system alike. Colorectal procedures offer a unique combination of challenges. Several minimally invasive technologies are available. This chapter describes the various platforms and outlines their advantages and disadvantages. An understanding of the various platforms is required to make an informed decision on an individual basis for or against a specific approach.
