Abstract
Laparoscopic small bowel resection has the advantage over the open conventional approach as being more precise with better results in terms of postoperative outcomes. It has been shown to be effective in several small bowel pathologies, such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors. This chapter describes indications, essential steps, variations, and complications of this procedure. It provides a detailed template operative note for the procedure.
