Abstract

Utilization of the colostomy site for laparoscopic reversal of Hartmann's procedure was recently introduced, and several studies have shown the feasibility of the procedure, which allows the colostomy site to serve as an access port for the operation. We demonstrate a method utilizing an accessory 5 mm trocar to assist in the operation while employing a colostomy-deepened glove port.
