Objective: Comparative studies between minimally invasive

and open techniques of Hartmann’s reversal showed the

benefits of minimally invasive techniques, which include faster

recovery time, less blood loss, and shorter hospital stay. This

study aims to compare the intraoperative and postoperative

outcomes of single-port laparoscopic and open Hartmann’s

reversal.

Materials-Methods: Patients who underwent open

Hartmann’s reversal (OHR) and laparoscopic Hartmann’s

reversal (LHR) between 2019 and 2021 at a single center

were assessed retrospectively. Patient characteristics and

perioperative data were collected and evaluated from the

medical and surgical records.

Results: Forty-seven patients underwent Hartmann’s reversal

operation and were divided into two groups: single-port

laparoscopic Hartmann’s reversal (SPLHR) (n=23) andopen Hartmann’s reversal (OHR) (n=24). The median age,

gender, body mass index (BMI), the American Society of

Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA-PS) scores, and

comorbidities did not significantly differ between the two

groups. Additionally, the median rectal stump length was

significantly longer in the SPLHR group (20 cm, IQR: 15-

30) compared to the OHR group (13.5 cm, IQR: 10-20). The

median estimated blood loss was significantly lower (100 ml,

IQR: 45-145) and also the median operation time was shorter in

the SPLHR group (92 minutes, IQR: 75-118) compared to the

OHR group (120 minutes, IQR: 90-158). Overall postoperative

complications did not differ significantly between groups,

while wound infections were significantly more common in

the OHR group [n=8 (33.3%) vs n=1 (4.3%)]. The SPLHR

group ( median 1 day, IQR:0-1) experienced a shorter time

to liquid diet intake, also resumed soft diet in a shorter time

(median 2 days, IQR: 2-3), and had shorter hospital stay

compared to the OHR group.

Conclusion: The SPLHR technique is a reliable and efficient

method that is easy to perform. It has several advantages in

selected patients compared to the OHR
