BACKGROUND: Laparoscopy has increasingly become the standard of care for @entity1 who undergo colorectal surgery for both benign and @entity5 . On the basis of this growing experience, there is now an expanded role for laparoscopic approach to @entity260 after primary colorectal resection. However, there is little literature specific to this topic. We report a ten-year experience with laparoscopic treatment of @entity532 following laparoscopic colorectal surgery. METHODS: From January 2003 to December 2012, a total of 1,292 @entity1 underwent elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery in our department. One hundred and two (7.9  %) @entity1 required reoperation for a @entity260 . Laparoscopy has been also adopted as the preferred procedure for management of @entity260 . A retrospective review of 84 @entity1 who had relaparoscopy (RL) for @entity260 , including @entity298 , @entity1901 , @entity1744 , and @entity548 , was performed. RESULTS: Reoperation was carried out laparoscopically in 79 (94.0  %) @entity1 . Five (6.0  %) conversions were necessary because of massive @entity63 , generalized @entity298 , and lack of working space. The most common finding at RL was anastomotic leakage (57.1  %) that was managed by peritoneal lavage and ileostomy in 91.7  % of cases. Six percent of @entity1 had negative RL. Overall morbidity rate was 25.0  %. Five @entity1 required additional surgery: four (5.1  %) after RL and one after a converted procedure. There were five (6.0  %) deaths from @entity326 , @entity583 , and @entity1151 . CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopy is a safe and effective tool for management of complications following laparoscopic colorectal surgery. In this setting, RL represents the first step of re-exploration and treatment, with no delay to conversion to open procedure even in skilled laparoscopic hands.
