7 Foreword Numerous colorectal textbooks have been authored, which generally include both open and minimally invasive approaches. This textbook, Advanced Techniques in Minimal Invasive and Robotic Colon and Rectal Surgery, is unique in that Dr. Ovunc Bardakcioglu has deftly amalgamated an impressive array of accomplished authors to meticulously review the gamut of minimally invasive approaches to colorectal disease. I am unaware of any other publication which so thoroughly and comprehensively addresses this exciting new arena. Furthermore, Dr. Bardakcioglu has managed to include a compendium of contents allowing the reader to share the data and information from a myriad of acknowledged content experts. Dr. Bardakcioglu has included an adequate number of chapters to deliberately offer the requisite amount of overlap for emphasis but avoid creating subject redundancy in the volume. The chapters are written in a very user-friendly, easy-to-review, and clinically relevant approach; the illustrated and descriptive operative steps and videos facilitate comprehension of the content. I highly commend Advanced Techniques in Minimally Invasive and Robotic Colon and Rectal Surgery to any surgeon who practices these techniques as well as to surgical residents and medical students who are in the process of acquiring these skills. I am also optimistic that after reading these chapters, this book will provide a resource with which to periodically refresh one s knowledge. I wish to congratulate Dr. Bardakcioglu for his tremendous artistry in creating the concept and expertly executing the work. Artistry because he has woven the fabric of this textbook into a beautifully blended product, a feat that is not necessarily easy when the individual contributory elements are authored by a myriad of people using a plethora of writing and illustrative styles. The end result of his labors is that this book is indeed very impressive and as such highly recommended. Weston, FL Steven D. Wexner, MD, PhD, FACS, FRCS, FRCS vii

9 Preface Over the last decade, the field of colon and rectal surgery has evolved a plethora of new surgical minimal invasive techniques to address both benign and malignant diseases. HD laparoscopy, 3-D laparoscopy, robotic surgery, single-port laparoscopy (SPL), transanal endoscopic surgery (TES), and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) all fall under the ever-growing umbrella of technological advances in colon and rectal surgery. These new developments may have started out in other fields but are a very active aspect of the field of colon and rectal surgery. Is the new primary surgical goal to achieve the ever more minimally invasive surgery until one day scarless surgery is achieved for all patients? The goal might be to provide the surgeon with a multitude of options, an array of tools, to use at his or her disposal as dictated by the complexities of a given patient s surgical disease and anatomy. Many textbooks on surgical procedures exist; however, one of the shortcomings of these textbooks is that a procedure is typically not described in all its existing variations and details that many different surgeons utilize. A chapter on a specific surgical procedure is usually only described based on the author s personal experience and technique and is often biased. Beginning early in my career, I have created my own scripts and summaries of procedures by learning from different surgeons during my training, learning from discussions with colleagues, reviewing procedural videos, which are available in textbooks, the Internet and conference presentations, and developing my own techniques. This led to the idea of this textbook to include many such described and utilized techniques for a specific colorectal surgical procedure. The authors of all chapters were therefore encouraged to think beyond their typical approach to a surgical procedure, and all chapters were revised and standardized to support this overall goal. The chapters include a breakdown of the procedures into standard operative steps, which are graded by technical difficulty. This grading can guide novice surgeons, residents, fellows, and their teachers to a stepwise approach to get familiar and master minimal invasive techniques in colon and rectal surgery. I have also included many technical tips, tricks, and caveats throughout the text to help with difficulties the surgeon might encounter. I wish this textbook will encourage surgeons not familiar with minimal invasive surgery to increasingly offer these approaches to their patients, and I hope the master surgeon will enjoy discovering new facets of the ever-evolving change to surgical procedures in colon and rectal surgery.
