Case description

Presentation about minimalist surgery for patient with Crohn's disease (CD). Single-port access or laparoendoscopic single site surgery is a fast-growing advance in minimally invasive surgery. Conventional laparoscopy has advantages over open surgery in ileocolic Crohn’s disease resection. Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is a promising new development in the field of minimally invasive surgery. This technique has been developed to decrease abdominal wall trauma further by reducing the number of abdominal incisions compared with the standard laparoscopic approach. This might decrease postoperative pain, shorten the recovery period and improve cosmesis. SILS has already been applied in ileocolic resections, right and left hemicolectomies, total colectomies, sigmoid resections and restorative proctocolectomies. Presented by Daniel P. Geisler, MD
