A mesenteric traction syndrome manifests in some patients undergoing major abdominal surgery and is identified by flushing, accompanied by hypotension and tachycardia. We used laser speckle contrast imaging to quantify blood flow in forehead skin of patients undergoing Whipple's operation. In two patients with similar blood pressure (-50 mmHg) and profound drop in systemic vascular resistance (-40%), forehead skin perfusion increased three-fold in one patient, while it was unchanged in a patient for whom flushing was not evident.

Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision (CME) with D3 lymphadenectomy for right colon cancer is becoming more accepted, but it's not yet standardized like other surgical procedures; this study presents 10 straightforward, reproducible steps to improve the surgery's ergonomics and vascular anatomy identification.
- The procedure involves adopting the French position with specific port placements designed for optimal comfort and access, allowing surgeons to efficiently dissect alongside major vascular structures like the superior mesenteric artery (SMA).
- Identifying important anatomical landmarks, specifically the ligamentum teres and SMA/superior mesenteric vein (SMV) axis, is crucial for avoiding injury during dissection, making the surgical approach both effective and safer.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is prevalent among middle-aged and older women, and its prevalence is expected to increase in Japan in the future. Laparoscopic surgery for POP is covered by insurance and is currently a minimally invasive procedure. There are multiple treatment approaches for the uterus, especially sacrohysteropexy, for patients who wish to preserve their uterus.
