Acute abdominal pain due to sigmoid volvulus with persistent descending mesocolon: a case report [PDF]
Background Persistent descending mesocolon, an anomaly of fixation of the mesentery of the descending colon, can sometimes cause complications such as intestinal obstruction and intussusception. We present the first reported case of sigmoid volvulus with

Persistent descending mesocolon as a vital risk factor for anastomotic failure and prolonged operative time for sigmoid colon and rectal cancers [PDF]
Background The diagnostic criteria and effect of persistent descending mesocolon (PDM) on sigmoid and rectal cancers (SRCs) remain controversial. This study aims to clarify PDM patients' radiological features and short-term surgical results.

Laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer with persistent descending mesocolon [PDF]
Background Persistent descending mesocolon (PDM) is caused by the absence of fusion of the descending colon to the retroperitoneum. We herein report two colorectal cancer cases with PDM that were treated with laparoscopic surgery.

Descending colon volvulus in a patient with persistent left mesocolon: A case report [PDF]
Persistent descending mesocolon is a congenital anomaly in which the mesentery of the descending colon fails to fuse with the retroperitoneum, resulting in a mobile colon that is suspended by a mesentery extending from the left upper quadrant to the ...

Idiopathic Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis Associated With Persistent Descending Mesocolon: A Surgical Puzzle. [PDF]
During our practice as clinical surgeons, we have encountered situations in which exploratory abdominal laparotomies have yielded unexpected outcomes, despite conducting thorough and rigorous preoperative studies. A rare condition called sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP), in which a fibrocollagenous membrane encircles the intestine and other ...

Laparoscopic Sigmoidectomy for Sigmoid Cancer With Persistent Descending Mesocolon: Anatomical Characteristics and Technical Tips. [PDF]
Although rare, persistent descending mesocolon (PDM) is an anatomical anomaly that carries potential risks for laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Impaired blood circulation of the reconstructed colon is especially risky during surgery. We report a case of sigmoid cancer with PDM, in which the patient underwent laparoscopic sigmoidectomy.

Mesh Fixation to the Sacral Promontory From the Left Side of the Mesosigmoid: Two Cases of Robot‐Assisted Sacrocolpopexy for Persistent Descending Mesocolon [PDF]
Introduction Persistent descending mesocolon is a congenital fixation abnormality where the left‐sided colon deviates medially. When significantly displaced to the right, it may affect sacrocolpopexy.

Laparoscopic colectomy for persistent descending mesocolon in sigmoid colon cancer: A case report. [PDF]
A 55-year-old-man underwent laparoscopic sigmoidectomy for sigmoid colon cancer. Preoperative barium enema showed a slightly medial displacement of the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon was quite long. The operative findings showed that the descending colon was not fused with the retroperitoneum and shifted to the midline and the left colon ...

Persistent Descending Mesocolon as a Key Risk Factor in Laparoscopic Colorectal Cancer Surgery. [PDF]
Persistent descending mesocolon (PDM) is a rare colonic anatomical variant. However, PDM's impact on the technical aspects and outcomes of laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection are unclear.This retrospective clinical cohort study was conducted at a high-volume cancer center in Japan to evaluate intra- and postoperative outcomes of laparoscopic ...
