Robot-assisted laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer with persistent descending mesocolon: A case report. [PDF]

Int J Surg Case Rep, 2022
Persistent descending mesocolon (PDM) is a fixed abnormality in which the descending to sigmoid colon adheres to the small intestinal mesentery or right pelvic wall through right displacement. Surgery for colorectal cancer with PDM is difficult. Therefore, in addition to the anatomical characteristics of PDM, the extent of adhesion and characteristics ...

Laparoscopic sigmoidectomy for sigmoid colon cancer with left-sided inferior vena cava and persistent descending mesocolon. [PDF]

J Surg Case Rep, 2020
Abstract Left-sided inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare congenital malformation, as is persistent descending mesocolon, a developmental anomaly in which the colonic mesentery does not fuse with the dorsal abdominal wall. Although these anomalies are mostly asymptomatic, they should be identified preoperatively to avoid iatrogenic injury ...

Vascular anatomical study of persistent descending mesocolon in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer

Asian Journal of Endoscopic Surgery, 2023
AbstractIntroductionPersistent descending mesocolon (PDM) is a rare congenital atypia of fixation of the descending colon, and currently, very few detailed studies exist on its vascular anatomy. This study was conducted to evaluate the features of the vascular anatomy of PDM to help avoid intraoperative lethal injury and subsequent postoperative ...
