Overview

This review examines the minimally invasive approach for the surgical treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. The advantages, disadvantages, and risks of the minimally invasive approach are evaluated. New minimally invasive approach methods, such as single-port laparoscopy (SILS) and the transanal approach (TAMIS), are reviewed. Based on the results of multicenter studies, the laparoscopic approach is still considered the optimal method for primary ileocecal resection and stoma construction. Also, it provides better short-term results for other indications. The benefits of other minimally invasive techniques have not yet been sufficiently explored.

Key words:
inflammatory bowel disease – Crohn’s disease – ulcerative colitis - laparoscopy – SILS – TAMIS

The authors declare they have no potential conflicts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study.

The Editorial Board declares that the manuscript met the ICMJE „uniform requirements“ for biomedical papers.
