Abstract
BACKGROUND: Sigmoid resection in diverticulitis is one of the most frequently performed colonic operations. A minimally invasive approach by laparoscopy is the surgical gold standard. For a few years now, sigmoid resections have also been performed robotically (da Vinci System). It is unclear whether there are relevant differences between the two procedures in terms of functional outcome.
