Core Tip	This is a retrospective study to evaluate the utility of hand-assisted laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy (HALS-RP) for ulcerative colitis (UC). Fifty-one patients underwent restorative proctocolec-tomy, and twenty-three patients in the HALS-RP were compared with twenty-four patients in the conventional open surgery group (OPEN-RP). The mean operative time for the HALS-RP group was not different to OPEN-RP group, but blood loss was significantly less in HALS-RP compared to OPEN-RP. HALS is a feasible procedure for restorative proctocolectomy for UC with small skin incision.
