title: [The hand-assisted laparoscopic resections of colon's left parts].
abstract: Authors have an experience of 88 hand-assisted laparoscopic procedures. Results of 32 hand-assisted resections of colon's left parts are analyzed. The special original sealing device was used for making of pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic procedures. The study group consisted of 19 female and 13 male patients. Mean age was 60.0 +/- 9.8 years (42-76 ys). Overweight was seen at 23 (72%) patients, 12 of them had obesity of I-III stage. Previous abdominal operations have been performed at 11 (34.4%) patients. Mean time of surgery was 181 +/- 53 min, operative bleeding--92 +/- 65 ml, no intraoperative complications occurred. Length of minilaparotomy was 7.3 +/- 0.8 cm. Poltoperative complications were seen at 4 (12.5%) cases, there were no lethal outcomes. Mean hospital stay was 9.8 +/- 3.5 bed-days.
