Figure 5 Resection with primary anastomosis for Hinchey IV diverticulis in a young patient: Functional and aesthetic outcome. A suprapubic 12 mm trocar was used for introducing the endostapler and performing the fully intracorporeal anastomosis. The specimen was then extracted by enlarging the suprapubic incision to a 4 cm minilaparotomy. Provided by personal courtesy of Dr. S. Di Saverio, MD, FACS, FRCS.
