Mesenteric traction syndrome is defined as arterial hypotension, facial flushing, and tachycardia related to mesenteric traction. We describe a case of mesenteric traction syndrome refractory to catecholamine and vasopressin infusions. The patient, who had Crohn disease, developed severe distributive shock after mesenteric traction while undergoing resection of an intestinal inflammatory mass, accompanied by facial flushing and unaltered readings for pulse oximetry, capnography, and bispectral index monitoring. The absence of tachycardia in this case was attributed to long-term use of timolol. Arterial pressure returned to baseline level after approximately 30 minutes, and the postoperative period was uneventful.

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.
