title: [Colpotomy for specimen removal in laparoscopic surgery].
abstract: The removal of the specimen is one of the major problems in laparoscopic colon surgery. In two female patients we have found a solution in the colpotomy. It is easy to perform and hardly recognized by the patient. Other large specimen as a kidney or spleen can also be removed this way. An elongation of an incision in the abdominal wall can be avoided. The pneumoperitoneum is preserved by a special clamp for the extraction via colpotomy. The removal of a specimen via colpotomy is a conclusive step towards, minimal invasive surgery'.
