Abstract
Laparoscopic left hemicolectomy is performed for the treatment of a variety of benign and malignant conditions affecting the left colon. Benign conditions include arteriovenous malformations, diverticular disease and its complications, localized inflammatory bowel disease, ischemic strictures, and sigmoid volvulus. Malignant pathologies include colon cancer or polyps. This chapter describes indications, essential steps, variations, and complications of this procedure. It provides a detailed template operative note for the procedure.
