The number of operations to reach a plateau phase in colorectal laparoscopic surgery is still under debate. There are few publications reporting on multidimensional assessment of the learning curve, including operation time and complication and conversion rates. The purpose of this study was to define a multidimensional learning curve for sigmoid resection performed by two surgeons with experience in laparoscopic surgery.

Multidimensional analysis of learning curves in laparoscopic sigmoid resection: eight-year results.

The decision which patient should undergo laparoscopic rather than open colorectal surgery depends on weighing its benefits against its complications. We explored which criteria prognosticate complications in a laparoscopic intervention by assembling experienced visceral surgeons' beliefs.

Predictors of intra- and postoperative complications in laparoscopic colorectal surgery: results of an expert survey.

We examined the accuracy of the Ottawa Ankle Rule (OAR) to rule out ankle and mid-foot fractures in patients presenting with acute ankle sprain and differences of accuracy between surgeons and non-surgeons.

Safety and efficiency of the Ottawa Ankle Rule in a Swiss population with ankle sprains.

To identify predictive risk factors for intra- and postoperative complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

A multivariate analysis of potential risk factors for intra- and postoperative complications in 1316 elective laparoscopic colorectal procedures.

Laparoscopic sigmoid resection is a feasible and frequent operation for patients who suffer from recurrent diverticulitis. There is still an ongoing debate about the optimal timing for surgery in patients who suffer from recurrent diverticulitis episodes. In elective situations the complication rate for this procedure is moderate, but there are patients at high risk for perioperative complications. The few identified risk factors so far refer to open surgery. Data for the elective laparoscopic approach is rare. The objective of this study was to identify potential predictive risk factors for intra- and postoperative complications in patients who underwent laparoscopic sigmoid resection due to diverticular disease.

Predictive risk factors for intra- and postoperative complications in 526 laparoscopic sigmoid resections due to recurrent diverticulitis: a multivariate analysis.
