Benign colorectal surgery has been recommended for training in laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCS). Our aim is to study whether LCS for diverticular disease suitable to obtain experience in the learning curve. To our knowledge, this is the first study to compare the results of LCS for diverticular disease with other LCS. This is a retrospective study of consecutive elective LCS performed between 2001 and 2011. The study compares LCS for diverticular disease (S group) with both LCS for other pathology (C1 group). The study included 194 LCS out of which 22 (11.3%) were in S group. Conversion rate in S group was 27.3% (6/22) versus 9.9% (17/172) in C1 group, p=0.017. The mean operating time was significantly higher in S group (250 minutes) compared with 196 minutes in C1 group, p=0.0004. The median length of hospital stay was 6 days in S group and 4 days in C group, p=0.12. Both morbidities and mortality rates were not statistically different between the two groups. Different sub- group analyses were performed to study the effect on training and the effect of the learning curve.
