title: Laparoscopic colorectal surgery: a challenge for ET nurses.
abstract: A growing number of colorectal procedures are being performed either partially or totally by laparoscope. Because of the lack of a major incision, this approach offers numerous advantages, including reduced postoperative pain and shorter recovery time. To familiarize ET nurses with the laparoscopic technique, this article reports a case of laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection and discusses some of the special considerations involved in patient care.
