Laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer with persistent descending mesocolon [PDF]

World Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2019
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.

Idiopathic Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis Associated With Persistent Descending Mesocolon: A Surgical Puzzle [PDF]

Cureus, 2023
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]

Cureus, 2022
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.

Laparoscopic colectomy for persistent descending mesocolon in sigmoid colon cancer: A case report [PDF]

International Journal of Surgery Case Reports, 2021
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 ...
