Plastic wound protectors are used in colorectal surgery to reduce incidence of post-operative wound infection and port site metastasis. The aim of this study is to determine if this practice has research currency based on the available literature. A systematic literature search enabled critical appraisal of retrieved studies. Six studies focusing on the topic of interest were retrieved and rigorously analysed. Analysis of these studies revealed adequate support for this practice especially in reducing incidence of post-operative wound infections. Plastic wound protectors serve as a useful tool in preventing post-operative wound infections, but there is paucity of evidence to support its role in preventing port site metastasis.

INTRODUCTION Introducing laparoscopic colorectal surgery is a challenge to the whole surgical team. It is usual for an assistant to hold the laparoscope and be responsible for the surgeon's view of the operative field and a lack of expertise in the assistant can add significant difficulties. The EndoAssist™ is a robotic device that replaces the human assistant and ensures steady visualisation of the operative field and a view which can be controlled by the surgeon. This study describes its use in the introduction of laparoscopic colorectal surgery to a unit. PATIENTS AND METHODS The EndoAssist was employed for the introduction of laparoscopic colorectal surgery in a unit with previous experience of this device for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It was used in a consecutive series of 77 laparoscopic colectomy operations. RESULTS The robotic device proved successful in the whole range of colorectal operations and a reliable assistant. No problems specific to the device were encountered. CONCLUSIONS The EndoAssist robot is a useful laparoscopic assistant and aided in the introduction of laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
