Abstract

Laparoscopic surgery has demonstrated advantages over conventional open procedures. Specifically, avoiding an abdominal incision and allowing the complete inspection of the abdominal cavity, as well as the ability to obtain a biopsy sample, are some of the reasons that made this method of stoma creation advantageous.
