Background Splenic flexure mobilization (SFM) is widely regarded as one of the most challenging steps in laparoscopic and robotic colorectal surgery, sparking ongoing debate. Some surgeons routinely advocate for SFM, citing its role in achieving greater left colonic reach, which facilitates a safe, tension-free, and well-vascularized anastomosis while adhering to oncological principles. Conversely, others argue that SFM does not consistently ensure these benefits and may increase the risk of complications, including splenic, bowel, or vascular injuries, as well as unnecessarily prolonging the procedure.

Background: Minimally invasive technique for surgical management of colorectal metastasis is becoming the standard practice in the United States. Paracaval colorectal metastasis is a technically challenging tumor to resect due to its location. Abutment of the inferior vena cava (IVC) often requires advanced technique for vascular dissection and potential need for partial venous resection.
