Robotic right hemicolectomy for persistent colocutaneous fistula following laparoscopic appendectomy: A case report

Résumé fourni par la source

The article presents a case report of a patient who was referred to our hospital after laparoscopic appendectomy with several revisions, resulting in a persistent colocutaneous fistula to the hepatic flexure. After preoperative planning, a robotic right hemicolectomy was performed. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 7 with no postoperative complications. We concluded that robot-assisted colectomy after preoperative patient management can be performed as an effective technique for colocutaneous fistula treatment with the benefits of minimal invasive surgery, including reduced postoperative pain, early patient mobilization, and shorter hospital stay.
