Where this comes from

Abstract

Large multicentre trials have shown good safety profiles and low complication rates for laparoscopic management of left-sided colon cancer [1-3]. However, there are a wide range of options and variations in technique, which extend the learning curve of trainee surgeons. Here we provide a video to demonstrate a standardized operative technique simplified into 'one plane, two points and three lines' when applied to laparoscopic left hemicolectomy.
