title: Laparoscopic 3D high-definition Deloyers procedure: when, how, why?
abstract: After extensive mobilization and resection of the left colon, colorectal anastomosis may result impossible due to the distance between the remaining colon and the rectal stump. The Deloyers procedure represents an interesting alternative to total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis. In this manuscript, we describe when and how to perform this technique with a mini-invasive approach. We also report the case of a patient who underwent Deloyers procedure, due to early ischemia of the descending colon after left colectomy.
