UNASSIGNED: The clinical spectrum of @entity66 varies from asymptomatic @entity66 with potentially fatal complications, such as perforation or @entity548 . While the presence of @entity7261 is common, symptomatic @entity4436 is relatively uncommon, occurring in an estimated 10-30  % of @entity1 . There is continued debate as to whether @entity1 should undergo elective resection for @entity66 and regarding the role of minimally invasive surgery. Since the first publication on laparoscopic colorectal procedures, the interest in minimally invasive surgery has kept growing. Laparoscopic sigmoid resection with restoration of continuity is currently the prevailing modality for treating acute and recurrent @entity4436 . However, it still remains unclear whether laparoscopy should be recommended also for complicated @entity4436 . The potential benefits of reduced @entity158 and analgesic requirements, smaller scars, and shorter hospital stay but longer operative times are appealing to both @entity1 and surgeons. Nevertheless, there many concerns regarding the time and the type of surgery. Although the role of minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of @entity1049 is progressively increased, current randomized controlled trials should demonstrate whether laparoscopic lavage, Hartmann's procedure or resection and @entity254 achieve the best results for @entity1 . This review aimed to analyze the results of laparoscopic colonic resection for @entity1 with uncomplicated and complicated forms of sigmoid @entity66 and to determine what stages profit from a laparoscopic procedure and whether the approach can be performed with a low complication rate even for @entity1 with complicated forms of the disease.
