Laparoscopic hemicolectomy is a minimally invasive surgical intervention requiring careful organization and clear setup procedures. A systematic approach to this setup ensures all necessary equipment is available, and it supports optimal surgical outcomes and patient safety. This educational video provides a demonstration of a setup for a laparoscopic hemicolectomy including back table organization, Mayo stand preparation, instrument arrangement, and the initial count with a circulator.
