Abstract
Gasless hand-assisted surgery, an alternative technique for colorectal canc er, is described. The abdomen is lifted by two metal disks especially desig ned for this procedure. The gasless condition evokes no hazard from pneumop eritoneum, and the procedure is greatly simplified by the hand assistance.
