Abstract
Laparoscopic restoration of intestinal continuity after Hartmann’s procedure offers significant benefits but remains a considerable challenge for gastrointestinal surgeons. To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of laparoscopic colostomy closure after Hartmann’s procedure at Thong Nhat Hospital. A retrospective descriptive analysis was conducted on 35 cases from February 2017 to May 2025. Patients who had undergone Hartmann’s procedure with an end colostomy and received laparoscopic intestinal continuity restoration were included. The laparoscopic success rate was 85.71%. Major complications included surgical site infection (30%), anastomotic leakage, and intestinal obstruction (3% each). The average operative time was 162 minutes, and the mean hospital stay was 9.3 days. There were no mortality cases. Laparoscopic reversal of Hartmann’s procedure is a feasible, safe, and effective method with a high success rate and low complication rate.
