Operating on the Mesentery in Robotic Colonic Surgery-General Techniques.

Clin Colon Rectal Surg

Department of Colorectal Surgery, University Hospital Limerick, Limerick, Ireland.

Published: July 2022

During colorectal surgery the mesentery is the organ on which the greatest amount of operating time is focused. It has recently gained increasing attention. This technical review focuses on the mesentery during robotic colonic procedures. Specifically, we focus upon how to access, dissect, and divide the mesentery using the robotic platform. We also touch on the management of bleeding and some specific disease etiologies.

Aim: Complete mesocolic excision (CME) is an oncologically driven technique for treating right colon cancer. While laparoscopic CME is technically demanding and has been associated with more complications, the robotic approach might reduce morbidity. The aim of this study was to assess the safety of stepwise implementation of robotic CME.

Background: Complete mesocolon excision (CME) and central vascular ligation for right colonic cancers have been developed to improve oncological outcomes. However, it has been linked with a higher risk of morbidity and technical difficulties in operating near major vessels. This study investigated the impact of preoperative surgical planning utilizing CT reconstruction on surgical outcomes in right colectomy with CME.

Paraduodenal hernias are rare internal hernias in which the small intestine becomes trapped behind the mesentery of the colon. These hernias can lead to bowel obstruction and ischaemia, making early diagnosis and intervention crucial. Patients often exhibit non-specific symptoms, highlighting the importance of using CT imaging for diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
  • Bariatric surgery is effective but not suitable for all patients, especially those with conditions like an "impenetrable abdomen," which complicates surgical access.
  • A case study highlights a 56-year-old woman with obesity and an abdominal complication who successfully underwent endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), showing no complications during or after the procedure.
  • Six months post-surgery, she experienced a significant weight loss (reduction in BMI from 47.1 to 34.9 kg/m) and was able to stop using her CPAP machine for sleep apnea, indicating improved health outcomes.
