Laparoscopic colon resection: a case report

J Laparoendosc Surg. 1991 Aug;1(4):221-4. doi: 10.1089/lps.1991.1.221.

Abstract

The first case of a villous lesion of the colon removed by laparoscopic-guided surgery is reported. Injection of methylene blue into the lesion facilitated its access and exposure via the laparoscope. A very small skin incision allowed delivery onto the abdominal wall for resection and anastomoses.
