Three steps and a join: a simple guide to right- and left-sided medial to lateral laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
Techniques in Coloproctology 2017 August
BACKGROUND: To provide a standardised 'medial to lateral' approach to laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
METHODS: Both right- and left- sided laparoscopic colorectal procedures were simplified into three well-defined steps and a join. An instructional video and procedural guide provides the important pearls and pitfalls in performing laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
RESULTS: During a 10-year period (2006-2016) at a single institution, 20 senior colorectal trainee surgeons and 20 general surgery registrars were trained in the 'three steps and a join' technique. Five hundred and sixty-eight laparoscopic anterior resections using this technique were performed. There were 5 (0.9%) leaks. Five hundred and forty-three laparoscopic right-sided resections were performed. There were 3 (0.6%) anastomotic leaks requiring reoperation and loop ileostomy.
CONCLUSIONS: This step-by-step instructional video and procedural guide provides a simple and standardised approach which may be incorporated into a training pathway for laparoscopic right- and left-sided colorectal surgery.
